Library and information scientist
These scientists come from all information-related sectors including library and book history.The University of Chicago Graduate Library School was established in 1928 to grant a graduate degree in librarianship with an emphasis on research.[3] Bibliometric methods have been used to create maps of library and information science, thus identifying the most important researchers as well as their relative connections (or distances) and identifying emerging trends related to LIS publications within the field.White and McCain (1998) [4] made a map of information science and Åström (2002),[5] Chen, Ibekwe-SanJuan, and Hou (2010),[6] Janssens, Leta, Glanzel, and De Moor (2006),[7] and Zhao and Strotmann (2008)[8] constructed some later maps of library and information science.See also Beta Phi Mu Award, Award of Merit - Association for Information Science and Technology, Justin Winsor Prize (library)
