“…These findings confirm that tourism scholars make significant use of sources outside their own discipline, drawing on such diverse areas as anthropology, history, psychology, and sociology at a 40 One explanation for this divergence may be that even in the short period between 1996, the last year covered by Howey's study, and 2000, the first year covered by this study, tourism research has had an increasing body of its own tourism studies to draw upon. This is a natural development in the evolution of a discipline, especially a relatively young one such as tourism.…”

Analyzing the citation characteristics of the scholarly production of an interdisciplinary field according to the kind of research methodology employed can provide much valuable information that can be used to improve both collection development decisions and reference services. Focusing on tourism studies, this article shows how a detailed breakdown of citations by Library of Congress (LC) classification can help librarians manage the information scatter that is typically associated with interdisciplinary fields. Data about the percentage of cited material from particular LC classes and subclasses that are used in the collective research output of an interdisciplinary field can be helpful in identifying types of material for purchase that otherwise may be overlooked. In addition, by identifying LC classes and subclasses that generate many citations, librarians can closely examine individual citations from these classes to get a detailed sense of how interdisciplinary scholars do their intellectual work, thus allowing them to better understand and anticipate the future information needs of these scholars.he existence of interdisciplinary academic endeavor should, by now, be a given. Scholars talk and collaborate with colleagues belonging to many disciplines and subdisciplines outside their own core areas. Working in groups or individually, they read widely in, and adopt insights from, diverse fields and subfields for use in their own research. In so doing, they hope to inform their work with contextual richness, new perspectives, and bold theories. O en new fields and subfields result from the process of interdisciplinary cross-fertilization. But interdisciplinarity is by no means easy because scholars must acculturate themselves in a subject area or areas with which they have very li le familiarity.

“…While concerns for the limited use of academic research for practice have widely been expressed in these fields (Frechtling, 2004;Howey, Savage, Verbeeten & Van Hoof, 1999;Vong, 2017), questions are also raised about the relevance of academic research and theories to the delivery of LHT services, or more precisely, why LHT practitioners generally do not find academic research relevant to their needs (Hemingway & Parr, 1999;Kelly, 2000;McLeod & Vaughan, 2014). There are also concerns about the intellectual insularity of academics who speak to and write only for themselves (Samdahl & Kelly, 1999), the indifference of practitioners to academic research journals (Jordan & Roland, 1999;Nogradi, 1992;Cooper, 2015), and more generally, the impacts of academic research for industry practice (Madrigal, 1999).…”

Inviting industry professionals as speakers in university classrooms for the benefit of future managers is essential to an applied field of higher learning. This study examines the role of "Professor-for-a-Day" in nurturing communities of learning and practice in hospitality and tourism programs at universities. Data were collected (auto-) ethnographically over five years (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017) in Hong Kong, through in-depth interviews with guest speakers from the industry, subject lecturers who invite industry executives to their classes, and students who are exposed to these industry professionals.Simultaneously, participant observations of, and documentary sources about, industry executives' guest lectures, are also used in the analysis and report. The research results reinforce and reiterate the role of industry professionals as guest speakers in building communities of learning and practice in an applied field of study. Implications of this discussion for applied higher education are then deliberated, so are the study's constraints acknowledged, and directions for future research explored.

“…This stance is taken despite research indicating that perceptions of research quality differ according to one's subject perspective; simply, hospitality researchers rank hospitality journals higher than tourism researchers and tourism journals less highly and vice versa (McKercher et al, 2006;Sheldon 1990). Howey et al (1999) report a low incidence of cross-citations among hospitality and tourism research publications; both academic communities are much more inclined to draw on sources from outside either field, approximately 80% of citations. The distinctiveness of each academic field is evident (Jamal et al, 2008;Stear and Griffin, 1993) and is apparent in the differential institutions and associated apparatus supporting the subjects.…”
