The primary objectives of this explora- tory study were to identify: • Perceptions about LIS literature, its quality and value; • Perceptions about the list of references appearing in LIS journal articles--their adequacy (extent to which all major stud-ies of direct relevance are included) and extent of inaccurate referencing; • How librarians conduct literature re- views and the extent to which they search the literature comprehensively; and • Suggestions for ways to make the con- duct of literature reviews easier while improving access to more source material. cache/crl-14754.pdf txt/crl-14754.txt
