The Journal of Internet in Technical Services (JITS), a new peer-reviewed journal published by The Haworth Press, Inc., welcomes the submission of manuscripts for its first issue. The journal offers aims to offer readers examples of innovative applications of technologies in library technical services operations. And at this point in time, the nature of what is included in technical services is a very dynamic topic.
Research-based studies, case studies of successful services or programs, and authoritative articles highlighting best practices are welcome. Topics of interest to us include: the integration of ERM's and Knowledge Bases with integrated library systems, metadata integration with cataloging operations, licensing and archival issues, digital libraries and the preservation of Internet resources, authority control/integration, outsourcing and other work on vendor web sites, the use of online training/tutorials and blogs and RDF Site Summaries (RSS) in technical
library operations.
