Information literacy in the area of Library and Information Science. A bibliometric analysis in Latin America, from the Lens database (2001-2020).
<p>The results of scientific production on ALFIN (2001-2020) in the areas of Library and Information Science are shown. All BIC journals were identified from Latindex. Then it was verified whether these journals were contained in the following databases: Web of Science (Core Collection and Scielo Citation Index), Scopus, Lens and Dimensions. The Lens database was chosen for retrieving records on ALFIN and performing the bibliometric analysis, as it has the highest coverage of BIC journals in Latindex. The trend and growth of scientific production were evaluated according to authors and year of publication; the productivity of authors was analyzed using Lotka's Law and the dispersion of the literature according to Bradford's Law. The degree, index and coefficient of collaboration were determined and collaboration networks were identified according to authors. The results show that scientific production on ALFIN in Latin America, reached a peak between 2017 and 2018, presenting a decrease from 2019 onwards. It was also observed that the production, collaboration between authors and the number of journals is predominantly Brazilian.</p>
Canadian publications in Library and Information Science / Publications canadiennes en bibliothéconomie et sciences de l'information
<p><strong>Overview of Dataset </strong></p> <p>This dataset was developed through a collaboration between Dalhousie University and the University of Montréal. This project aims to help break down the silos in which the two primary target audiences- information science researchers and academic librarians- conduct their research. The Canadian Publications in Library and Information Science dataset makes visible the work that librarians do and allows other Canadian researchers to discover the research of their colleagues. <br><br></p> <p>The dataset contains 1,326 distinct authors, 850 of which were classified as practitioners and 476 as academics. It has a total of 13,775 records out of which 8,230 are authored by at least one academic and 5,740 are authored by at least one practitioner.</p> <p><br><strong>File descriptions</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Table 1.

Is epistemological purism possible in Library and Information Science research?
<p><strong>Is epistemological purism possible in Library and Information Science research?</strong></p><p>Several scholars in Knowledge Organization (KO) and in Library and Information Science (LIS) have expressed concern that the field seems driven primarily by practical applications and professional practices. Others have stressed the need for research in the field to be more theoretically motivated, lest it continue to be perceived not as a scientific field but simply as a set of techniques used to solve problems. Hence, there have been calls for scholars and practitioners to make explicit the epistemological assumptions underlying methods used to design information services and tools for their users as this can help identify inherent biases. </p><p>In answer to these calls, we examined the epistemological assumptions underlying methods deployed in some fields of KO and LIS – namely information retrieval and topic mapping. A careful examination of the underlying assumptions to these methods showed that they exhibited epistemological hybridity, in this case, a combination of empiricism and positivism with a dash of pragmatism and hermeneutics at the end. </p><p>We therefore hypothesize that it may not be a straightforward task for a researcher or an information professional to claim that a method borrows solely from positivism, rationalism, empiricism or social-constructivism or historicism or hermeneutics, simply because there is a gap between epistemological theories and methods linked to them. Also, a given piece of work may deploy methods linked to different epistemological theories.</p><p>Although our examples are taken from LIS and KO fields, we suspect that our observations may be generalized to other scientific disciplines and fields of inquiry.</p>

e-LiS, e-prints in library & information science: metadata in RDF/XML
<p>This RDF-XML dump contains metadata about the items deposited in e-LiS (http://eprints.rclis.org), converted in Linked Open data.</p> <p>"Established in 2003, e-LIS is an international digital repository for Library and Information Science (LIS), including Communication. It has grown thanks to a team of volunteer editors that support 22 languages. The development of an international network has been stimulated by the extension of the Open Access concept to works and facilitated by the dissemination of material within the LIS community. These are some of the reasons for the success of e-LIS.</p> <p>In a few years, e-LIS has been established as the largest international open repository in the field of library and information science."</p>
