> Dear reader,
> 
> 
> 
> Library and Information Science: The Journal of the Sciences of
> Information Recorded in Documents brings you its second number. We
> want to give you a non solicited apology beforehand, because it took
> us some more months to launch it than planned, but we call for your
> understanding since our editorial project is an independent Open
> Access project made possible with a collective efforts of volunteers.
> Hence, it is not excepted from the vicissitudes of its participants.
> However, there you have the second number, well alive, kicking, and
> reloaded.
> 
> 
> 
> Library and Information Science Critique maintains firmly its
> editorial policy against censorship and intellectual impostures
> within the sciences of information recorded in documents, and at the
> same time it maintains its editorial quality through a rigorous
> process of double blinded peer reviewing through its editorial board
> comprising 21 experts in the  theory and  practice in various
> sciences of information recorded in documents, and from different
> parts of the world: Germany (1); Argentina (2); Brazil (1); Colombia
> (1); U.S.A. (1); Spain (2); India (1); Italy (1); Kenya (1); Mexico
> (3); Nicaragua (1); Peru (2); Portugal (1); Serbia (1); South Africa
> (1); Venezuela (1).
> 
> 
> 
> What are the new features of the second issue of LIS Critique? Since
> this second number these sections have been discontinued: Academic
> papers, and Literature space, and a new one has been added:
> Documents, which includes documents of solidarity with leftist
> political movements within the sciences of information recorded in
> documents that have been submitted by the authors to the editors’
> consideration, or that the latter have requested the former
> authorization for its publication by considering them relevant.
> Hence, the new sections are: Articles, Essays, Documents, and Book
> reviews.
> 
> 
> 
> What will you find in this second issue of LIS Critique? You will
> find in this number 11 contributions (7 articles, and 2 documents)
> submitted by 17 authors (3 Mexicans, 2 Venezuelans, 1 from the USA,
> and 2 Spanish) since 12 August 2009 when it closed the last call for
> papers. At the end of this number you will find a biographic summary
> of the authors who contributed in this issue.

> José Antonio Torres Reyes (MEXICO) begins the critical debates in the
> Articles section with his contribution: “A bibliometric analysis of
> the scientific development of the social sciences in Mexico:
> 1997-2006,” where he presents the results of a research project
> conducted in the area of social sciences in Mexico from the period
> 1997-2006, in order to know the relevant characteristics such as its
> historic evolution, and scientific productivity (Research +
> Development) through the volume of documents generated, language of
> publication, index of chronological productivity, thematic, and
> through federative entity, patterns of national and international
> authorship and co-authorship, citation and co-citation amongst
> publications, institutions, and scientific sub-disciplines (research
> fronts), amongst others, employing to such end the research
> documental technique: bibliometric analysis. In his critical analysis
> he highlights diverse bibliometric bias found in the database Social
> Science Citation Index of the Institute of Scientific Information
> (ISI). It is remarkable that his article is part of the results,

> systematic control and censorship of the government against the
> governed. He clarifies the difference between copyright (right of
> copy) and the moral rights of authors, where the latter are hampered

> versus the role of a librarian affirming the adoption of a policy in

> Xiangming Mu (U.S.A.), closes the sectionn Articles with his
> contribution. Virtual reference is a library service that uses the
> Internet to provide remote reference services. The benefit of virtual
> reference service is to provide help  anytime, anywhere. One
> challenge for  a  current virtual reference service, however, is the
> low rate of usage. Towards this problem, we proposed a new
> interactive Virtual Reference (iVR) model. Instead of working inside
> the circle of the VR process, we focused on the user's  actions
> before  “initializing the VR service process.” As a result, our
> interactive virtual reference model enables VR librarians to identify
> the “troubled” patron and then to offer  prompt help. The help is
> automatically triggered by a set of criteria that are predefined in
> the system. A simple “no match” factor is selected to be implemented
> in our iVR prototype system. Other criteria are also analyzed based
> on our survey of 47 libraries. Two comparison studies using different
> iVR interfaces were conducted to evaluate their performance in terms
> of system helpfulness and interface satisfaction. Patrons’ concerns
> concerns over  potential privacy violation and intrusion were also
> investigated. We found that our pop-up interface design was helpful
> but should more fully consider users’ concerns about the intrusion.
