About the potential play of paradigms in the field of Besserabian library science

Summary/Abstract: In the field of library science in Moldova a change of paradigm has been produced at the beginning of the library science reform, when the bibliological paradigm was established. An original management paradigm was also created in that period, meaning the cybernetic model of the National Library management. In the last decade of the 20th century, the bibliological paradigm is contested. New paradigms took its place in the specialized department of State University in Moldova (inspired by Bologna Process) and in the libraries’ community (inspired especially by the American model). Although its system of values continues to correspond to the kuhnian view, the bibliological paradigm disintegrates because the librarians community is dispersed. As a consequence, in present, there is no scientific totally functional paradigm in this field. The situation can be surpassed by applying a national strategy based on two essential objectives: finalize the academic library science paradigm and the application of the research programs paradigm created de I. Lakatos in the National Library System. In the same time, the harmonization of the endogenous and exogenous factors impact would have an important role in surpassing the situation.
