Presents an analysis of the articles published in the periodical,
Journal of Librarianship and Information Science (JOLIS)
, in the period 1991-1999. The analysis was carried out to compare JOLIS’ and was intended as a comparison with a similar survey of the periodical’s first 21 years’ existence (1969-1990), as
Journal of Librarianship
. Both surveys were conducted by the Editor as his first and final editorials, respectively. The initial analysis was based on coverage by type of library and by geographical area. The subject headings assigned by Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) for these articles were analyzed and the most frequently occurring headings were listed and compared to the earlier study. Results suggest that the Editor was successful in his goal of increasing the coverage of special libraries and the range of countries featured in the articles.
