[ITAL] is one of the three open-access, peer-reviewed journals published by
Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures (a division of ALA). If you are

have a background or interest in information technology, this is an
exciting opportunity to contribute to the profession. No prior editorial
board experience is required. All editorial board members are expected to
be committed to contributing to the growth and mission of the journal, but
editorial board membership will also provide the opportunity to learn about
scholarly publishing and how content policies and procedures are
established.
