__LIBRES:  Library and Information Science Research
Electronic Journal__ ISSN:  1058-6768

LIBRES is a quarterly, peer-reviewed electronic journal with
an editorial board of library and information science
scholars.  LIBRES communicates scholarly thought on library
and information science.

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 first regular, quarterly issue which includes the peer-
reviewed sections will be on Oct. 15, 1993.  When warranted
by the volume and flow of scholarship, special and/or
supplementary issues on emergent themes will be distributed.

LIBRES will have four 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.
      Editor to be Appointed

2.  Essays and opinions (non-refereed)
     Edited by Diane K. Kovacs

3.  News, letters, Reviews of print and electronic resources
    and other discussions  (non-refereed)
     Edited by Leslie Haas

4.  Pre-Print and Abstracts Distribution  (non-refereed)
     Editor to be Appointed

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 the ERIC RIE.

All editorial communications take place on a private listserv
e-conference.  Editors will be subscribed to that e-
conference when they are appointed.  An online organizational
meeting will be held with all editors via the
editorial e-conference.  This will mean logging on and
reading your e-mail from the e-conference and responding as
frequently as you are able.

In addition to the editors named, the journal will have the
following editorial contributors: associate editors, special
issue editors, columnists, and correspondents. Full
recognition and credit will be attributed to contributors.

*Associate editors* shall be standing jurors/referees/readers
on substantive topics such as specific networks and bbs,
discussion groups/conferences, ejournals, information
distribution/retrieval, databases, networking tools, or
virtual reality. An associate editor shall read submitted
papers, judge the quality of papers submitted for blind
review, edit papers submitted for blind review, and advise
the Editor-in-Chief about the worthiness of papers reviewed,
and recommend whether to publish submitted papers as
articles in the journal. Specific qualifications include
experience as an editor/juror/referee/reader, relevant
publications.

*Special issue editors* take responsibility for special or
supplementary issues of the journal devoted to a particular
theme or idea. The responsibility includes the selection of
the topic, announcing the special/supplementary issue and
call for papers jointly with the Editor-in-Chief or Section
Editor as appropriate, receiving submissions, obtaining peer
review by associate editors and other specialized referees,
and necessary communication with authors, referees, and the
Editor-in-Chief or Section Editor.
