Library Literature and Information Science

Library Literature and Information Science is a bibliographic database that indexes over 410 library and information science periodicals published internationally. It also covers books, chapters within books, library school theses, and pamphlets. In 2011, the H. W. Wilson Company, the firm that created the index, sold it to EBSCO Publishing along with other H.W. Wilson indexes and databases.[1]

Coverage

Bibliographical indexing from 1984 to present. Full-text coverage from 1997, but start date varies for each publication.

gollark: The current implementation has... several problems:- it keeps cached data even if osmarks.tk is updated- it intercepts requests to dynamic stuff like IncDec and Isso, which is normally fine but makes it break oddly in offline mode- it seems to re-request everything all the time.
gollark: I should probably fix the service worker it uses for offline mode, though.
gollark: Died?
gollark: Okay, infipage is back up, links to IncDec are coming soon.
gollark: I wonder if the offline caching thing works at all.
