Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS)
http://eprints.rclis.org/
Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS) is an
international open access archive for eprints related to
Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related
application activities, in keeping with the objectives of the
EPrints
movement and the Free Online Scholarship (FOS) movement.The purpose
of E-LIS archive is to make the full text of the LIS documents
visible, accessible, harvestable, searchable and useable by any
potential user with access to the Internet. Furthermore this service
aims to support individuals who wish to publish or otherwise make
their papers available worldwide. Open access to LIS papers and
their
dissemination can also support the building of international LIS
networks.
Who are the partners of the initiative?
Eprints for LIS has been established as a community service by RCLIS
(Research in Computing, Library and Information Science) and DoIS
(Documents in Information Science) to promote open access to papers
on these fields. RCLIS is a project to build a database about
current
and past documents in computing, librarianship, information science
and technology and related application activities. It is aimed to
extend and update DoIS, a service for finding and downloading
articles and conference proceedings published in electronic format
in
the area of librarianship, information science and technology and
related application activities. See credits page.
Why an Eprint server for LIS fields?
Nowadays the library and information world is strongly integrated
with the area of computing science and technology. Moreover,
institutional metadata creation proves costly, while a more
effective
way out is provided the growing trend towards authors' self
archiving
in the framework of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). A flexible
architecture of data and service providers based on metadata
harvesting allows authors to store a copy of their documents in some
personal or institutional archive, and so the documents become
quickly available worldwide.
Is the E-LIS Archive free access?
Eprints for Library and Information Science (E-LIS) access is
totally
free to any user. Users can freely browse, search and access the
full-
text without ever having to identify themselves to the server. If
you
wish to submit a work do you need to register. We encourage
librarians, libriaries, institutes, organizations and individual
researchers involved in LIS and correlated fields to utilize and
contribute to this service. The more papers that are made available,
the more useful will the archive become
