ODLIS: Online Dictionary of Library Information Science
(ODLIS is designed to be a hypertext reference resource for library and information
science professionals, university students and faculty, and users of all types of
libraries. The primary criterion for including a new term is whether a
librarian or other information professional might reasonably be expected to
encounter it at some point in his (or her) career, or be required to know its
meaning in the course of executing his or her responsibilities as a librarian.
The vocabulary of publishing, printing,book history, literature, and computer science
has been included when, in the author's judgment, a definition might prove helpful,
not only to library and information professionals, but also to laypersons).
