| Description | This paper presents a conceptual survey of information ecology. Information ecologies of university departments constitute the ecology of the university, but they cross borders of the university as a whole as well. University departments can thus be considered as peculiar units of a university’s information ecology. After pursuing analysis of different concepts of information ecology, conceptualization of information ecology of university departments according to the analyzed concepts is introduced. Finally, appropriateness of the concepts to research of information ecology of a university department is considered. |
