Positions on the IL-IB relationship
| Position | Description |
|---|---|
| IL as “ideal” IB | IB describes actual practices (ideal or not), whereas IL prescribes desired ones |
| IL and IB as overlapping but distinct | Acquiring IL may change IB, but each domain keeps its own research agenda |
| IL as the broader construct | IB (especially information search) is a core component of IL |
| IL as an applied branch of IB | IL and IB are interchangeable and there is no need to separate them |
