JITA Classification System of Library and Information Science
The JITA Classification System of Library and Information Science is a classification for subject indexing of literature in library and information science . It was developed on the basis of the NewsAgentTopic classification , which was maintained by Mike Keen until the end of March 1998, and the classification of the Review of Information Science previously created by Donald Soergel . The name JITA is an acronym for the first names of the authors José Manuel Barrueco Cruz, Imma Subirats Coll, Thomas Krichel and Antonella De Robbio.
The JITA classification is for the International Open Access - Eprint published server E-LIS and was last amended in 2010 (as of June 2011). In addition to E-LIS, the repository of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions has been using JITA since 2013 .
