The Value of Interdisciplinarity: A Study Based on the Design of Internet Search Engines.

Herring, Susan Davis

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v50 n4 p358-65 Apr 1 1999

Examines whether search engine design shows a pattern of interdisciplinarity focusing on two disciplines: computer science and library/information science. A citation analysis measured levels of interdisciplinary research and publishing in search engine design and development. Results show a higher level of interdisciplinarity among library and information scientists. (AEF)
