'''Library and Information Science Abstracts, (LISA)''' is an international abstracting and indexing tool designed for library professionals and other information specialists. LISA covers the literature in [[Library and information science]] (LIS) since 1969 and currently abstracts 440+ periodicals from 68+ countries and in 20+ languages.

Ranking the Research Productivity of Library and Information Science Faculty and Schools: An Evaluation of Data Sources and Research Methods. ''Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology'', 56(12), 1314–1331. </ref> found that in a list of 2,625 items published between 1982 and 2002 by 68 faculty members of 18 schools of [[library and information science]], only 10 databases provided significant coverage of the LIS literature. Data showed that [[Library Literature and Information Science]] (LLIS) indexes the highest percentage of LIS faculty publications (31.2%), followed by [[INSPEC]] (30.6%), [[Social Sciences Citation Index]] (SSCI)(29.6%), and LISA (27.2%). LISA is thus the fourth most comprehensive in this study.
