Figure 6: Network Analysis of Citation Pairs in Introductory Syllabi
Figure 6 demonstrates those schools with numerous and few common readings. LIS schools
and history departments on the periphery are located there for several reasons. Montreal
relies on articles and books from a French tradition, unlike the rest of the United States and
Canada. In the case of two public history courses, Temple and Murray State, they are
assigning very different readings from the rest of the introductory courses.
Figure 7 illustrates the archival programs with 30 or more pairs of readings in
common. This figure shows a different view of core archival knowledge and demonstrates
that a smaller group of schools and departments has identified a core archival knowledge.
Common readings are wide ranging and include a broad range of recent scholarship and
theoretical work.
