**Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS)**
*ALCTS's peer-reviewed quarterly online journal takes a critical
approach to questions and challenges facing technical services
professionals and reviews professional publications.
/LRTS /is the official journal of the Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services. Regarded as one of the top technical
services journals^1 , /LRTS /publishes research and "Notes on
Operations" papers that have undergone double-blind peer-review. The
/LRTS /Editorial Board is composed of a panel of experts who represent
the various ALCTS sections, which include these subject areas and topics:
- Acquisitions, including licensing and economic aspects of acquisitions
- Cataloging and metadata, including MARC and non-MARC metadata, RDA,
authority control, subject analysis, classification
- Continuing resources, including cataloging and management
- Collection development
- Preservation, including digitization
- Scholarly communications
- Training and education of technical services librarians and personnel,
including continuing education
Have you given a presentation? Consider taking it one step farther by
developing it into a research paper; /LRTS /editors and staff can guide
you through this transition. Have you implemented an innovative process
or resolved a thorny problem that other libraries are facing? It may be
a good candidate for a "Notes on Operations" paper. New to publishing?
