Data showed that <a href="/facts/Library_Literature_and_Information_Science/hWbLQff7">Library Literature and Information Science</a> (LLIS) indexes the highest percentage of LIS faculty publications (31.2%), followed by <a href="/facts/INSPEC/DlMIE7TM">INSPEC</a> (30.6%), <a href="/facts/Social_Sciences_Citation_Index/mb4Mf3s6">Social Sciences Citation Index</a> (SSCI)(29.6%), and LISA (27.2%). LISA is thus the fourth most comprehensive in this study.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="other-important-databases-covering-library-and-information-science">Other important databases covering library and information science</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Dissertations_Abstracts/cPtpG1PX">Dissertations Abstracts</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/ERIC/3HNyprsJ">ERIC</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/INSPEC/DlMIE7TM">INSPEC</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Library%2c_Information_Science_%2526_Technology_Abstracts/SIF1BkBm">Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts</a> (LISTA)</li> <li><a href="/facts/Library_Literature_and_Information_Science/hWbLQff7">Library Literature and Information Science</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Social_Sciences_Citation_Index/mb4Mf3s6">Social Sciences Citation Index</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Web_of_Science/4pTA4Atl">Web of Science</a></li></ul> <h2 id="further-reading">Further reading</h2> <ul><li>Gilchrist, Alan; Presanis, Alexandra (1 May 1971).
