Abstract
Geographers and Library and Information Scientists have similar perspectives on information access. There is an opportunity for technologies to be shared by the two disciplines, such as a geographic information system or GIS. GIS has the potential of offering technological advances to library and information scientists as well as to their partnering institutions. This investigation examines the publishing trends of articles on GIS indexed in Library Literature & Information Science and Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts databases during a 16-year span from 1990 to 2005 to determine growth in the quantity of articles published on the subject as well as author affiliation
