ARIST is celebrated for contributing a comprehensive

significant topics contributed by leading scholars.

ARIST 38 is the third volume in the series
edited by Professor Blaise Cronin, Rudy Professor of
Information Science at Indiana University, Bloomington,
Illinois. Cronin brings to ARIST an inclusive
and progressive editorial philosophy; in his introduction
to Volume 38 he states, “As information science
broadens its horizons, ARIST will continue
to recruit authors from both the heartland and the periphery
to appropriately reflect the domain’s inherently
interdisciplinary character.”
Commenting on this editorial approach in his review
of the previous volume (ARIST 37, 2003) for
the Journal of Documentation, Professor Jack Meadows
of Loughborough University (U.K.) said, “The editor
notes in his Introduction that he has tried to introduce
new topics and authors in this year’s volume.
He has not only succeeded, but has produced a volume
that is likely to contain something of interest to most
people concerned with information science research.”
