Thomas D. Walker

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997, vol. 48, issue 4, 361-368

Abstract: The Journal of Documentary Reproduction (JDR) was a publication of the American Library Association (ALA) from 1938 through 1942 that addressed a variety of topics in the field of documentation. This article places the journal in an historical context and defines its domain in terms of the characteristics of its contributors. Part of a larger project involving JDR and its successor, American Documentation (AD) (now the Journal of the American Society for Information Science), this study of the complete run of JDR examines characteristics of authorship, including occupation, institutional affiliation, geographic distribution, and gender. Sources from the ALA Archives were consulted for information about the formation and dissolution of JDR. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
