Abstract

The medical or health sciences library professional vocabulary uses many words that start with an <i>I</i>. On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Janet Doe Lectureship, this lecture highlights and summarizes the 15 lectures (27%) that have included an <i>I</i> in their titles. The most frequent <i>I</i> word was information; this word appeared in four lectures. Only one lecture used more than one <i>I</i> word in the title. A new <i>I</i> word incorporated in this lecture but not its title is Intelligence, Artificial. +Italics were used to emphasize I words within the lecture or titles of published works.
