Description
Overview of Dataset
This dataset was developed through a collaboration between Dalhousie University and the University of Montréal. This project aims to help break down the silos in which the two primary target audiences- information science researchers and academic librarians- conduct their research. The Canadian Publications in Library and Information Science dataset makes visible the work that librarians do and allows other Canadian researchers to discover the research of their colleagues.
The dataset contains 1,326 distinct authors, 850 of which were classified as practitioners and 476 as academics. It has a total of 13,775 records out of which 8,230 are authored by at least one academic and 5,740 are authored by at least one practitioner.
