The methodology of the disciplines that constitute the system of documentation and communication

The scientific disciplines of Librarianship, Bibliography and Bibliology, taken together as a single documentation-communicative complex, has emerged as an object of study. This new object demands a new methodology which, alongside both general and specific scientific methods, also requires complex ones that function to integrate knowledge. These methods are developed both within the documentation-communicative complex, on the basis of a synthesis of particular research practices, as well as on the basis of general, universal scientific methods, and reveal a tendency toward integration of the three above-mentioned disciplines The article shows the advantages of this interdisciplinary approach which cuts across the borders of individual scientific approaches and brings knowledge from the various disciplines to bear on the larger problem of the documentation-communicative complex.
