The word infomancy is one of those mostly facetious pseudo-latinate portmanteaux. The OED describes the combinatory form "-mancy" (which comes from the Greek word for "prophet, diviner") as follows: "Forming nouns with the sense ‘divination by’." Thus, "infomancy" is in essence "Divination by using information." However, Christopher Harris has come up with a much more detailed definition:

  Infomancy.net is a web site dedicated to libraries, library science, and all happenings thereof. It contains a blog—labelled a "tome" in keeping with the theme of infomancy—a forum for all librarians and library students—and anyone else who's interested—to share their thoughts and ideas with others, projects I have worked on, and various other miscellany.

  The site is still in its nascency, and is updated by a recently-graduated student in the field of library science. This site is a place for me to share my thoughts and opinions on all things libraries, and to showcase relevant projecst I have worked on. Perhaps we will even delve into the realm of L-space. Who can say?

  The setting of our little e-drama takes place in a mystical college in a place that may not be so far away as you think: The Royal College of Infomancy. The faculty plan to install a ha-ha in the future in order that they may keep our mystical college grounds—at the confluence of several major ley lines, as well as several T3 lines—clear of detritus and the flotsam/jetsam that accrues in such places of information-seeking power.

  So look around, relax, explore the nooks and crannies of the Royal College of Infomancy. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
