Annals of Information Technology and Librarianship
Edited by Gregory A. Crawford and Gary W. White
CALL FOR PAPERS
Technological advances over the past three decades have created new
challenges and opportunities for libraries and librarians. As a
result of automation and computerization, services to users have
changed, the management of libraries has evolved, the roles of
librarians have multiplied, and the impact of libraries on their
client groups has grown. This new publication, Annals of
Information Technology and Librarianship, seeks to be a forum for
the dissemination of research and scholarly articles on the impact
that information technology has had and is continuing to have on
libraries. The publication is peer-reviewed and seeks to offer its
readers highly relevant and thought provoking articles that will
enhance their understanding of how libraries and librarians are
responding to the changes caused by information technologies.
PREMIER ISSUE SPECIAL TOPIC:
Information Technology, Libraries, and the New Millennium
As one millennium draws to a close and a new one begins, there is
an opportunity to reflect on how far libraries have come and on
where we would like them to go. Throughout the history of libraries,
there has been an acceptance and use of a variety of information
technologies. The new millennium presents new opportunities to
exploit a ever-growing array of information technologies in the
provision of library services.
The editors are seeking submission of manuscripts that address the
issues surrounding the use of information technologies within
libraries. Manuscripts which address questions such as the following
are especially encouraged:
What will the opportunities be for the expanded use of information
technologies in libraries?
How will information technologies be used or misused?
What will be the impact of information technologies on libraries,
librarians, and library users?
How will the organization of the library change?
What is the future of librarianship?
What have been the historic impacts of information technologies on
libraries?
How will information technologies change the role of libraries and
librarians?
How will education for librarianship change as a result of emerging
technologies?
Will instruction of patrons differ in the new millennium?
Will new information technologies challenge the existence of libraries?
