Databases for Information Professionals

摘要

The major bibliographic databases for library and information professionals, established decades ago, have undergone major changes in the last few years. H.W. Wilson's Library Literature is now Library Literature and Information Science (LibLit) and offers a full-text version. Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) was purchased by CSA last year and has a new production system. Information Science and Technology Abstracts (ISTA), however, is experiencing the most radical shifts. Last year it changed its name from Information Science Abstracts. Then, after a major battle to improve timeliness and quality, the product was sold by Information Today to EBSCO. It's time to revisit these familiar faces to see how they look today.
