Dear All
We would like to make you aware of the E-LIS service and to
encourage you to use it both as a source of useful material and as a
means of archiving e-prints of your own papers.
E-LIS (E-prints for Library and Information Science) is an international
open access
archive for e-prints related to Librarianship, Information Science and
Technology,
and related application disciplines. It can be accessed, searched, and
browsed at
http://eprints.rclis.org/.
You can also add your own materials to the archive by going to the same
address
(http://eprints.rclis.org/ ), clicking on 'register' and following the
registration
procedure. Following registration, you can 'begin a new item'. The system
will then
guide you through various screens, where you enter metadata such as title,
author,
keywords and so on, relating to your publication. When you have completed
this
process, you can upload a full-text version of your paper and your entry
will be
approved by an editor before going into the live archive.
Please try the service out and let us know what you think. In particular,
please
consider adding your own e-prints to the archive.
A list of partner organisations involved in the initiative can be found
at http://eprints.rclis.org/partners.html
Cheers
