This is a call for articles for the journal OCLC Systems & Services. A new
editor has just taken over the helm of this journal, and the mission
statement, journal overview, and coverage of the journal has taken a new
direction (Please see below). A new title for the journal is also under
consideration, based on the focus listed below, and will hopefully be
unveiled in mid-2004.
I am looking for articles related to the mission statement and coverage
listed below for the 2004 journal issues. OCLC Systems & Services:
Digital Library Perspectives International is a peer-reviewed journal, with
an international editorial board. Please send all inquiries, expressions
of interest, and/or articles directly to the editor. Thanks.
