This is a refereed section. The Research and Applications Section of LIBRES publishes articles that seriously (but not humorlessly) examine topics within the field of library and information science. Articles should fall within the research or applications area. Research articles are those that apply a solid research methodology (quantitative or qualitative) to their subject, and draw appropriate conclusions. Applications articles are those that discuss a unique and noteworthy use of library and information science tools or knowledge or discuss a unique and noteworthy resource of interest to library and information science professionals. Articles should not simply describe something, but provide useful data, critical commentary, and evaluative conclusions that will benefit others. Journal Description LIBRES is a quarterly electronic journal with an editorial board of library and information science scholars. LIBRES communicates scholarly thought and discussion on library and information science topics. LIBRES consists of four sections: Research and Applications (refereed); Essays and Opinions (non-refereed); News, Letters, and Reviews (non-refereed); and Pre-Prints and Abstracts (non-refereed). Since 1990, LIBRES has published non-refereed articles, reports, and drafts as well as news and discussion of library and information science research, applications, and events. The refereed Research and Applications section began with the October 1993 issue. LIBRES publishes four issues per year (Spring, Summer, Fall Winter). When warranted by the volume and flow of scholarship, special and/or supplementary issues on emergent themes will be distributed. LIBRES will be distributed through a listserv fileserver, an ftp site, and a gopher server. Subscribers will be made aware of the available issue by distribution of a quarterly table of contents to LIBRES, LIBREF-L, and other e-conferences that request the service. LIBRES will be indexed in ERIC RIE. Submissions Submissions will be accepted only through electronic mail. Submissions should be sent to the attention of Nancy L.
