LISA: anatomy of an abstracting service
Daphne M. Tomlinson · The Indexer · 1986
An historical outline of the origins of LISA (Library and Information Science Abstracts) will trace its development from the efforts of voluntary labour for its quarterly predecessor. Library Science Abstracts. Throughout its sixteen years of continuous existence under the present title, the evolving nature of the publication will be related to general trends in secondary service publishing. Features of the publication will be discussed in the light of the characteristics of the literature of librarianship and information science.
