Abstract: Using an enriched author cocitation analysis (ACA), we map 
information science (IS) for 1996-2005, a decade of explosive development 
of the World Wide Web, to examine its development since the landmark study 
by White and McCain (1998). The Web, we find, has had a profound impact on 
IS, driving the creation of new disciplines and revitalization or 
obsolescence of old, and most importantly, bridging the chasm between 
the "literatures" and "retrieval" IS camps. Simultaneously, the 
development of IS towards cognitive aspects has intensified. Our study 
enriches classic ACA in that it employs both orthogonal and oblique 
rotations in the factor analysis (FA), and reports both pattern and 
structure matrices for the latter, thus enabling a comparison between 
these several FA methods in ACA. Each method provides interesting 
information not available from the others, we find, especially when 
results are also visualized in the novel manner we introduce here.
