This paper reports an ongoing research that conceptualizes two major LIS academic conferences in NorthAmerica as two dynamic scientific communities: ASIS&T Annual Meetings and CAIS AnnualConferences. Using a social network analysis approach, this study compares and visualizes how these twoscientific communities have been structured and organized between 1993 and 2015.
