ODLIS: Online dictionary of library and information science

“(…) 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.” (Joan M. Reitz – Western Connecticut State University)
