Abstract: The authors use a novel method-the Author Affiliation Index 
(AAI)-to determine whether faculty at the top-10 North American library 
and information science (LIS) programs have a disproportionate presence in 
the premier journals of the field. The study finds that LIS may be both 
too small and too interdisciplinary a domain for the AAI to provide 
reliable results.
