H-LIS |
| DESCRIPTION: |
A moderated internet discussion forum on the History of
Library and Information Science. It is open to anyone with a mature and abiding interest
in the interdisciplinary study of libraries and information broadly construed to include
literacy and reading, print culture, libraries and archives, computerization and
automation, information retrieval and documentation, and electronic information and
communication. The H-LIS electronic discussion group and Web site will consider all
geographic regions and time periods in an effort to enhance understanding and
interpretation of the LIS past. Although there are other electronic discussion lists
targeted to librarians, information scientists, and archivists, H-LIS provides a central
resource for the organization and dissemination of material related to the history and
culture of LIS. As such, its audience includes not only librarians, information scientists
and archivists but also historians interested in a wide variety of information-related
topics. |

discussion of rare books and periodicals. This list is aimed primarily at publications
connected to history and genealogy, although related publications, such as folklore or
