Tags


Tags make it easier to find publications with particular characteristics. The tags for each publication profile appear at the bottom of the profile page.

All tags are listed below; the most popular tags appear in the tag cloud in the right column of each wiki page. Please note:

  • Tags are organized by Article or Publication Type, Geographic Scope and Language, Library or Collection Type, and Subject.
  • Each tag includes example publications.
  • Since wiki profiles are divided by LIS Scholarly Journals, LIS Professional and Trade Publications, Civilian Publications, and Book Publishers, there are are no tags for these general categories.
  • If you would like to suggest the addition of a new tag (or the deletion of an existing tag), contact Laurie Putnam at lispubswiki [at] gmail.com.
