Reference Librarian, n49-50 p289-304 1995

A 10-year period of professional literature in the "Communication Yearbook" was subjected to bibliometric analysis. Content of the articles was analyzed and compared for frequency of mention of research programs, theories, and methodologies. Similarities in the field of librarianship, notably reference/information work, were identified. (Author/AEF)
