Abstract | The impact of cybernetics on information science occurs chiefly through the concepts of variety, the law of requisite variety, and theory of transformations. Through these it pervades every aspect of information science. However, other basic sciences such as physics, biology, psychology are in their spheres equally pervasive, and information science is seen as a special discipline containing a high admixture of interdependent sciences, with applications that subserve every science and itself. As the title suggests, this paper presents a broad viewpoint in a very small space, and relies heavily upon an earlier work entitled "On Access to Knowledge and Information in the Social Sciences and Humanities from the Viewpoint of Cybernetics and Information Science" which is available as LI 004 282.
