LIBRES: Library and Information Science Research
electronic journal ISSN: 1058-6768

LIBRES is a peer-reviewed electronic journal with
an editorial board of library and information science
scholars. LIBRES communicates scholarly thought in library
and information science. Its publication language is English.
It is published in March and September.
Since 1990, LIBRES has also published non refereed articles,
reports, as well as news and discussion of library
and information science research, applications, and events.
It commenced its peer-reviewed section in 1993. When warranted
by the volume and flow of scholarship, special and/or
supplementary issues on emergent themes will be distributed.
LIBRES now has three sections:
1 Research and applications (refereed)
Peer-reviewed scholarly articles from multiple sub-
disciplines of library and information science on such
topics as analysis, evaluation, applications (reports of
progress ) in libraries, plus other information science research.
Acting Editor: Wendall Sullivan.

2. News, Meetings, Essays and opinions (non-refereed)
Editor: Kerry Smith
(email: kerry_at_biblio.curtin.edu.au)
3. Reviews of print and electronic resources
and other discussions (non-refereed)
Editor: Suzanne Milton
(email: smilton_at_ewu.edu)
LIBRES is based on the principle of subscription to a Listserv, the members
of which, when informed of issue information, retrieve articles by email.
An ftp archive is also maintained.
With the rise of the Web and its potential for 'rich' content, the Libres
web-sites have grown in importance and are now a favoured means of access.
The editors particularly encourage the use of web-based technology in the
presentation of articles.
The potential of web-based material can be seen in the March 1997 issue
which included an article by Scott Seaman entitled designing an ergonomic
circulation desk: a case study, and featured embedded video clips.
News on upcoming international conferences is now entirely web based due to
the need to continually update the information. This information can be
found at
http://www.curtin.edu.au/curtin/dept/sils/libres/meetings.htm.
You are invited to make a contribution to LIBRES.
