Analytic Bibliography, Content and Genre Analysis of the Bibliologic Literature in Romanian Librarianship Periodicals
Abstract: 

The study analyses articles from Romanian librarianship periodicals with content-analyis methods known from statistics-bibliometry and sociology. This is not only a thematic and statistic analysis; writings are considered from the point of view of their theoretical level. We have defined six categories: chronicle, commentary, documentary synthesis, polemical essay, study and essay. Besides pointing out the dominant topics in this literature, the statistic analysis also shows their variation. It becomes clear that Romanian librarianship literature has very few polemics, studies, essays and documentary syntheses.
