Bibliometric Studies of LIS Scientific Literature

The discipline of library and information science is interdisciplinary and multicultural. Capable of assimilating important concepts from diverse domains of knowledge, it is an integrative force. Many writers from diverse disciplines of knowledge have contributed to its development. The documented knowledge contained in a library's collection is a proxy for cultural knowledge transmission from place to place. In many domains of knowledge, the primary means of knowledge transfer between specialists is through records. For user focused services, librarianship has the ability to adapt and accept new ideas, methods, and approaches.
