On being reminded that Garfield is a cat, I went back to his article in the Journal of Library History, then to the 1976 article on information retrieval in the arts and humanities, based on the Arts & Humanities Citation Index, and hence to what is now called the Web of Science, and no longer owned by ISI.
There seem to me several matters of lis interest, now that lis is a part of LAHP and hence of TMISH #TMISH (though it has been suggested that the SH is not now Senate House, but Shhhh..... as this is libraries.
But then LIS is science, and I found that EBSCO has librarianship see library science... as well as services, or for my purpose, systems.
So I started playing around with Permuterm, and the web version.
I wonder how many people do this sort of thing on cold winters evenings?
The infopolecon #infopolecon matter is that there is a subscription service, the journals are by and large subscription, public libraries don't do subscription, and university libraries have no net book agreement incentive to public access, while electronic resources are even more shut down than paper.
Plus, British Library inter library loans are now often charged at quite a rate.
So public engagement is a sort of diamond ring thing
