- Abstract
- As part of a largerstudy concerning the scatter of library and information science (LIS) documents in bibliographic databases, this paper focuses on the publishing sources of a sample of 822 highly relevant documents. 67% were journal articles with the largest subject categories outside of LIS being medicine / health sciences, business, education, and computer science. Other journal titles ranged from popular and trade magazines to scholarly journals spanning the disciplinary map. The largest number of nonjournal items were conference reports, government reports, bibliographic resource guides, monographs, and nongovernment agency reports. These were scattered mostly between technological and medical databases. The results show that LIS is an interdisciplinary field, borrowing and supplying information to and from other disciplines. Articles written about the application of LIS concepts to other fields are often published in the journals of those other fields, not in LIS journals
