✦ Synopsis

With this poster we would like to propose a revision and update of the UNISIST-model of scientific and technical communication published in 197 1 (UNISIST, 197 1). UNISIST is an Intergovernmental Programme for Co-operation in the Field of Scientific and Technological Information. The UNISIST model was a product of 4 years of cooperation between the United Nations Educational, ScientiJic and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The poster will describe the original model and update and revise the model by incorporating the Internet as a means of communicating scholarly knowledge and by framing the model in light of the domain analytic theory. There are two main reasons for this. First, the domain-analytic approach to library and information science (LIS), as advocated in recent years by Hjsrland & Albrechtsen (1995) and Hjmland (1997;2002), stresses the importance of analysing and comparing differences between various knowledge domains and their communication structures with regard to, for instance, information retrieval and knowledge organization. The UNISIST-model holds the potentials, we argue, for outlining and understanding such structures,
