Library and Information Science Source

EBSCO's Library and Information Science Source (LISS) is a subscription database that was developed from the merger of EBSCO and H.W. Wilson in 2011. LISS features journals, periodicals, conference proceedings, monographs, and book reviews in the field of library and information studies. It includes full-text access to over 180 journals in both English and other languages. It also provides extensive indexing, a comprehensive thesaurus, and coverage from as early as the 1930s. The database's lack of OA content is at odds with library science's increasing commitment to freely accessible content. LISS will be of the most interest to institutions with large library staff as well as those that offer a degree program in library and information studies.
