Editorial objectives

Program: electronic library and information systems is a refereed journal which covers all aspects of the management and use of information technology in libraries and archives, museums and galleries, information centres, the information industry in general and the Web as a global and decentralized digital library. The emphasis is on the practical applications of new technologies and techniques and their costs, but reviews or emerging technologies and research and development in relevant fields are also published. Program aims at becoming an inter-disciplinary journal covering studies and advances from different perspectives, and including also Web Science topics and late-breaking innovations in techniques, methods and approaches for the sharing of digital collections and linked data in the Web.  The journal publishes a mix of articles, case studies, opinion pieces and book reviews.
