Editorial objectives
Program: electronic library and information systems publishes material on all aspects of the management and use of information technology in libraries and archives, museums and galleries, information centres, and the information industry generally. The automation of library and information services, the storage and retrieval of all forms of electronic information, and the delivery of information to end users are primary interests. Program is also concerned with database design and management; techniques for storing and distributing information; networking and communications technology; the Internet; user interface design; the procurement of systems; user training and support; and system evaluation. While the emphasis of the journal is on practical applications (and their costs), reviews of emerging technologies and of research and development in relevant fields are also welcomed.
Refereeing procedure
Each paper submitted is reviewed by the Managing Editor for general suitability for publication. If deemed suitable, the paper is then sent to two referees, at least one of which is an Editorial Board member. The decision as to whether or not to publish is then made in light of the referees' comments, in consultation with the Editorial Board. Authors may be asked to revise papers prior to final submission.
Emerald Literati Editing Service
The Literati Club can recommend the services of a number of freelance copy editors, all themselves experienced authors, to contributors who wish to improve the standard of English in their paper before submission. This is particularly useful for those whose first language is not English.

Manuscript requirements
It is expected that most papers will be submitted as attachments to e-mail messages sent to the Managing Editor. If the author wishes to submit a printed version of the paper then three copies of the manuscript should be submitted in double line spacing with wide margins. All authors should be shown and the author's details must be printed on a separate sheet and the author should not be identified anywhere else in the article.
Contributions of several types are welcomed. Full length articles (normally about 3,000-4,000 words) should make a contribution to published knowledge in the field in one or more of the following ways:
- by reporting original research;
- by describing significant developments or applications;
- by reviewing some aspect of computer applications generally, or in relation to one type of library or environment or region;
- by providing a "tutorial" introduction for students and others to some area of new relevance.
Such articles will be considered for publication only if they have not been published and are not likely to be published elsewhere in substantially the same form. Papers presented at conferences may be considered if they are unlikely to appear in conference proceedings which have a wide circulation.
Short communications (normally about 1,500-2,000 words) may consist of brief research reports, technical findings, notes on the progress of a project or a report of a conference.
News items may announce relevant conferences, meetings, products or services. The decision on insertion of these into an issue remains with the Managing Editor and Publisher.
Reviews of recently published books are included in each issue and are co-ordinated by the Reviews Editor.
A title of not more than eight words should be provided. A brief autobiographical note should be supplied including full name, affiliation, e-mail address and full international contact details. Authors must supply an abstract of 100-150 words. Up to six keywords should be included which encapsulate the principal subjects covered by the article. Where there is a methodology, it should be clearly described under a separate heading. Headings must be short, clearly defined and not numbered. Notes or Endnotes should be used only if absolutely necessary and must be identified in the text by consecutive numbers, enclosed in square brackets and listed at the end of the article.
Figures, charts and diagrams should be kept to a minimum. They should be provided both electronically and as good quality originals. They must be black and white with minimum shading and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals.
Artwork should be either copied and pasted from the origination software into a blank Microsoft Word document, or saved and imported into a blank Microsoft Word document. Artwork created in MS PowerPoint is also acceptable.
Artwork may be submitted in the following standard image formats: .eps - Postscript, .pdf - Adobe Acrobat portable document, .ai - Adobe Illustrator, .wmf - Windows Metafile. If it is not possible to supply graphics in the formats listed above, authors should ensure that figures supplied as .tif, .gif, .jpeg, .bmp, .pcx, .pic, .pct are supplied as files of at least 300dpi and at least 10cm wide. In the text the position of a figure should be shown by typing on a separate line the words "take in Figure 2". Supply succinct captions.
For photographic images good quality original photographs should be submitted. If submitted electronically they should be saved as tif files of at least 300dpi, and at least 10cm wide. Their position in the text should be shown by typing on a separate line the words "take in Plate 2".
Tables should be kept to a minimum. They must be numbered consecutively with roman numerals and a brief title. In the text, the position of the table should be shown by References to other publications must be in Harvard style. That is, shown within the text as the first author's name followed by a comma and year of publication all in round brackets, e.g. (Fox, 1994). At the end of the article a reference list in alphabetical order must be given as follows:
For books: surname, initials, (year) title, publisher, place of publication, e.g. For journals: surname, initials, (year) "title", journal, volume, number, pages, e.g.
Final submission of the article
Once accepted for publication, the final version of the manuscript must be provided, accompanied by a 3.5" disk of the same version labelled with: disk format; author name(s); title of article; journal title; file name.
Each article must be accompanied by a completed and signed Journal Article Record Form available from the Editors or on http://www.emeraldinsight.com/literaticlub/jarforms.htm The manuscript will be considered to be the definitive version of the article.
