À propos
La Revue canadienne des sciences de l'information et de la bibliothéconomie (RCSIB/CJILS) est une revue scientifique à comité de lecture publiée par l'Association canadienne des sciences de l'information. Créée en 1976, RCSIB/CJILS est reconnue à l’échelle internationale pour ses contributions bilingues qui font autorité dans le domaine de la recherche en bibliothéconomie et en sciences de l'information. Sa politique éditoriale consiste à contribuer à l'avancement, en anglais et en français, de la bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information au Canada, et ce, en constituant un lieu d’échange où discuter de théorie et de recherche.
Nous acceptons les contributions dans tous les domaines de la recherche en bibliothéconomie et en sciences de l'information, mais la revue met fortement l'accent sur la recherche dans le contexte canadien. Elle a notamment publié des travaux sur le comportement informationnel, la recherche d'information, la professionnalisation, l'organisation de l'information, la communication savante, les politiques d'information, les méthodes de recherche et les enjeux éducatifs. RCSIB/CJILS publie des études théoriques, des résultats de recherche, des recensions d’ouvrages et des lettres à la rédaction.
