“…The main goal of the study was to report the findings to LIS professional colleagues in order to enable them to compare the journals as potential future publication venues. Slutsky and Aytac (2014) also conducted a bibliometric analysis of science librarianship research studies published in four LIS journals – Science & Technology Libraries, Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship , the Journal of the Medical Library Association and the Health Information and Libraries Journal – covering the period from 2008–2012. Hildreth and Aytac (2007) examined articles that they deemed to be original empirical research published between 2003–2005.…”

This article reviews 62 years (1957–2018) of research in library and information science in Pakistan. A comprehensive bibliometric study was conducted using the four leading databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Library and Information Science Abstracts, and Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts). The researchers found a positive upward trend. Library research is on the rise in Pakistan. The Department of Information Management at the University of the Punjab is the major contributor to the library and information science literature. Forty percent of the total publications were published in two Pakistani journals. Older and well-established institutions like the University of the Punjab and the University of Karachi have taken the lead in publishing research. The Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces require more focus and funding.

“…Therefore, first, this literature review presents the most relevant paper by Slutsky and Aytac (2014), who studied both STL and ISTL along with two other science journals from the LIS discipline. They examined science and medical librarian research from 2008-2012 in Health Information and Libraries Journal, Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship, Journal of the Medical Library Association, and Science & Technology Libraries.…”

The purpose of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis and a comparison of two journals that cover all aspects of STEM librarianship: ISTL (Issues in Science & Technology Librarianship) and STL (Science & Technology Libraries). A recent 10 years of publications were selected to report many variables that describe and compare the bibliometric indicators of the publications and bibliographies. Each issue of these journals published from 2005 to 2014 were carefully examined, and nonresearch articles such as reviews, editorial boards, opinions, and columns were excluded from the study. A total of 338 research articles; 163 from STL and 175 from ISTL, have been analyzed. Findings presented a wide range of data such as subject coverage, nature of authorship, number and format distribution of the bibliographic citations, affiliations of the authors, etc. It is hoped that this bibliometric study will provide a concise review of these two STEM LIS journals as well as in-depth analysis of the research articles being published. The results are particularly relevant to those prospective first-time authors of forthcoming research articles submitted to STL and ISTL.

“…While the benefits of faculty status can often vary greatly for librarians, one major advantage is the potential for faculty status to elevate the perception of librarians within an institution, placing them on an even field with full-time teaching and research faculty. Faculty status is also viewed as a means of encouraging librarians to engage in research [ 1 , 2 ]. Yet, despite these longstanding appointments and perceived benefits, the library literature shows disagreement regarding whether faculty appointments are appropriate for librarians.…”

Objectives: Within many institutions, there are debates over whether medical librarians should be classified as faculty or professional staff, a distinction that may have considerable effect on the perception of librarians within their local institutions. This study is a pilot exploration of how faculty status may affect the professional experiences of academic medical librarians within their local institutions. Methods: Surveys were sent to 209 medical librarians listed as having some instructional function at Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredited medical institutions in the United States. Survey responses were captured using Qualtrics survey tool and analyzed for frequencies and associations using SPSS version 27. Results: Sixty-four medical librarians at academic medical institutions completed the survey developed for this study. Of the respondents, 60.9% indicated that librarians at their institution have faculty status, while 71.9% believe that librarians at their institution should have faculty status. Ninety percent of librarians with faculty status reported that they are expected to generate scholarly materials, compared to 28% of those without faculty status. Conclusions: Many medical libraries offer faculty status to librarians. While many medical librarians are active in instruction, research, and other activities normally associated with faculty status, it is not clear if faculty status impacts how librarians are perceived by other health care workers within their institutions.
