PUBLICADMINISTRATION’ like library and information science, is an applied social science. It is as difficult to define and as diverse as library and information science. Like library and information science, it is relatively new in its current broad scope and its content is in a period of rapid change. Before looking at research in public administration as a source of information for library and information science research, the groundwork needs to be laid. This includes a brief overview of the discipline called public administration and a comparison of that discipline with one called library and information science. Then it will be possible to look at research in public administration, its development and present status, to see how findings relate directly to needs and issues in library and information science. Finally we will predict the future direction of public administration research and estimate what direct applications it may have for library and information science research.
