This paper traces the origins of informatics, scientometrics and informetrics in the USSR and Hungary; the origins of information science, information studies and bibliometrics in Britain and the USA, and their interactions with library studies. Finaly, three different contexts are suggested in which the three '-metrics' have distinctive and important rules.
