A library and information scientist, also known as a library scholar, is a researcher or academic who specializes in the field of Library and information science.
Bibliometric mappings
Bibliometric methods have been used to create maps of library and information science, thus identifying the most import researchers as well as their relative connections (or distances).
White and McCain (1998) made a map of information science and Åström (2002), Chen, Ibekwe-SanJuan, and Hou (2010), Janssens, Leta, Glanzel, and De Moor (2006), and Zhao and Strotmann (2008) constructed some later maps of library and information science.
