Johnson: an Engineer, Scholar, Pioneerin Informatics and Humanist; The First Years up to the 1950’s; The Sixties and Seventies; The1980’s through 2009; and The Ei Village and its Creator John Regazzi. Each section describesmajor changes, improvements, management and editorial decisions introduced. It also presentssome information on the people that have made The Engineering Index (Compendex) a valuableresource such as J.B. Johnson, Bill M Woods, John E.

for the content analysis was subjective, but did point to the emphasison information literacy, information/reference services, collections and novel databases. Whiletextual analysis was limited in terms of results, it did provide further support for theclassification analysis based on word and phrase frequencies of the paper titles. A future studymight apply a more rigorous textual analysis methodology (and software) to obtain topichierarchies and to perform more sophisticated analyses.Further work could compare these results to other LIS publications in the field of science and Page 15.177.13engineering librarianship.References1.

Women are still a pronounced minority in engineering classes, even with recentyears’ increases in their enrollment. See for example, Franzway et al. (2009).9
