| Abstract: | The conventional wisdom amongst information systems (IS) researchers is that information systems is an applied discipline drawing upon other, more fundamental, reference disciplines. These reference disciplines are seen as having foundational value for IS. The authors believe that it is time to question the conventional wisdom. The authors agree that many disciplines are relevant for IS researchers, but the authors suggest a re- think of the idea of "reference disciplines" for IS In a sense, IS has come of age. Perhaps the time has come for IS to become a reference discipline for others. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
