Dear colleagues
Cross posted to numerous lists. Please forgive any duplication.
Have you undertaken a research project in your library/information
environment? Why not write it up and have it published in an electronic
journal?
LIBRES http://libres.curtin.edu.au/ publishes refereed and non-refereed
articles, reports, and drafts as well as news and discussion of library and
information science research, applications, and events. The March 2000
issue http://libres.curtin.edu.au/libres10n1/index.htm
includes a paper by M. Kendall and J. Eve on Changes through IT in public
libraries:
advantages of carrying out research via a training course.
The next issue is due in September 2000 so there is time for you to get
your paper to us for consideration.
LIBRES has a number of 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 at
libraries),and other research in the library and information service
environment.
The journal has an eclectic and growing group of Associate Editors who
assist with the refereeing of papers (see:
http://libres.curtin.edu.au/editors.htm)
Scott Seaman ( Research and Applications Editor)
University of Colorado, Boulder
seaman@spot.colorado.edu
2. Essays and opinions section (non-refereed). Articles for this section
can be of a similar nature to those described in the refereed section
above, but of a less formal structure. They often take the form of a
researched essay.
Ann Curry (Essays and Opinions Editor)
University of British Columbia
ann.curry@ubc.ca
3. Reviews of print and electronic resources and other discussions
(non-refereed). Suzanne is based in the US and has her network of
colleagues who assist with book reviews. I am sure she would also consider
any LIS reviews which you may wish to contribute.
Editor: Suzanne Milton

The journal maintains a Conference page of upcoming conferences and this is
at:
http://libres.curtin.edu.au/meetings.htm
and I offer contributions from information I have gleaned off the Net and
other means in the News and Journals sections.
The journal relies more and more on the potential of web-based technology
and we encourage our contributors to send their articles into us in this
fashion. We are able to convert material if necessary.
We look forward to hearing from you.
