What began in 1994 as a five-page handout, the Dictionary of
Library and Information Science soon was expanded and converted to
electronic format for installation on the Western Connecticut State
University Library Web site, where it is in high demand by library
professionals, scholars, and students, and has won international
praise. Now available for the first time in print, the Dictionary
is the most comprehensive and reliable English-language resource
for terminology used in all types of libraries. With more than
4,000 terms and cross-references (last updated in January of 2003),
the Dictionary's content has been carefully selected and includes
terms from publishing, printing, literature, and computer science
where, in the author's judgment, they are relevant to both library
professionals and laypersons. The primary criterion for including a
new term is whether library and information science professionals
might reasonably be expected to encounter it at some point in their
career, or be required to know its meaning.
