Scholarly productivity of US LIS faculty: An update

This study is the third in a series that examines some measures of productivity applied to faculty in Library and Information Science (LIS) programs in the United States accredited by the American Library Association. The Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) is used to generate publication and citation data. The time period covered is 1993-98. The data are analyzed according to both individual productivity and program productivity. Tables are presented to list the individuals ranked by the measures. Additional tables present ranked lists of programs according to total and per capita publications and total and per capita citations. Programs are then ranked by die criteria just mentioned along with the perceptions of programs as reported in the most recent U.S. News and World Report survey.
