为了更深入地了解全球图书馆情报学的国际合作，本文采用文献计量学分析和社会网络分析相结合的方法，从国家和机构两个层面对国际图书馆情报学合作的趋势、网络和核心群体进行了调查。本研究共收集了2000-2011年间15种核心期刊的8570篇论文。结果表明，66%的论文是在全球LIS联合发表的。两国论文和两机构论文分别是国家和机构层面国际合作的两种主要合作模式。通过社会网络分析发现，在过去的12年中，全球LIS的国家协作网络已经达到了一定的成熟程度，而国际机构协作网络尚未成熟，由数十个组成部分组成。在国家合作网络中，美国和英国的地位是显著的。虽然美国处于网络的中心位置，但位于美国的机构更倾向于在国内进行合作，这表明美国机构的国际合作倾向较低。在机构协作网络中，发现两个群体分别位于美国和欧洲。机构合作网络的研究结果也表明，鲁汶大学不仅在国际机构合作网络中拥有最大的合作广度，而且拥有强大的沟通控制能力。
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the international collaboration of global library and information science (LIS), the present paper investigated the trends, networks as well as core groups of the international collaboration in LIS at the country and institution levels by combining bibliometric analysis and social network analysis. In this study, a total of 8,570 papers from 15 core journals during the period of 2000–2011 were collected. The results indicate that 66 % of papers are joint publications in global LIS. Two-country papers and two-institution papers are the two primary collaboration patterns in the international collaboration at the country and institution levels respectively. Through social network analysis, it is observed that the country collaboration network has reached a certain degree of maturity over the past 12 years in global LIS, while the international institution collaboration network has not yet matured and is made up of dozens of components. In the country collaboration network, the position of USA and UK are remarkable. Although the USA is positioned at the center of the network, institutions located in the USA are more inclined to have collaboration within domestic, suggesting institutions in the USA have a low tendency towards international collaboration. In the institution collaboration network, it is found that two groups located in the USA and Europe respectively. The results of the institution collaboration network also reveal that Katholieke Univ Leuven has not only the largest collaboration breadth, but also strong capabilities to control communication within the international institution collaboration network.
