<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The core of DDQ 6(3) is the beginning of a critique of Information Science. This critique, planned to continue in future DDQ numbers, explores the proposition that Information Science will not resolve current uncertainties about its place as an academic discipline on a par with Computer Science, but instead will fade within two decades, with its concerns becoming topics in more enduring university faculties. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Information Science professionals who believe this prediction mistaken might wish to present counter-arguments to what appears in DDQ. To them, I suggest that Information Science will fade unless they can produce justifications and scoping statements much more robust than any I have read. Should they want DDQ to publish or cite of their refutations, I will be happy to include them provided that they accommodate the compact DDQ style.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Readers are reminded that embedded links provide quick access to other authors' discussions of topics that DDQ mentions, in case they want more depth than DDQ can provide.</FONT></P>
