It is an attempt at bibliographical control of LIS publication in English language only, and excludes those in Indian languages.

It includes citations from professional as well as other journals, edited books, festschrift volumes, books, seminar and conference papers and proceedings. It also covers contributions by Indian authors published in foreign books and journals. The citations are prepared according to well recognized national practices being followed for bibliographical compilations. The abbreviations used for journals are also standardized. The citations are classified according to the 20th Edition of Dewey Classification with extended schedules at various places.
