Editorial scope The boundaries of information work are rapidly changing and widening.

Aslib Proceedings: New Information Perspectives brings currency, authority and accessibility to the reporting of current research, issues and debates in the broad area of information work. Above all the journal aims to provide research and comment in a form that is easily and quickly understood: a fresh, rigorous, but unfussy writing style is what is aimed for. The needs of busy practitioners (and academics) very much in mind. Articles are refereed to meet the need of accredited and authoritative information. To ensure that this does not result in an unacceptable loss of currency, articles are speedily refereed by the journal抯 large, eminent and multi-disciplinary Editorial Board (assembled for just such a purpose). In some cases they may be referred to an external panel of consultants. The submission of research in progress articles is encouraged.
