| Summary: | This study examines the history of Malay Studies as a field and its dominant epistemological
positions. The study seeks to shed light on the knowledge domain of Malay Studies, particularly
to provide a more holistic approach for information professionals within the field to undertake
in the management of resources and guiding users. Two approaches within domain analysis:
historical studies, and epistemological and critical studies, are used to discuss the knowledge
domain of Malay Studies. Additions to the UNISIST model are suggested to provide a more
comprehensive information and communications system model for area studies, particularly that
from the Global South. This study also seeks to include a peripheral Southeast Asian narrative
in the library and information science (LIS) discipline whose traditional focus is on North
America and Europe. |
