Internet Reference Services Quarterly tackles the tough job of  
keeping librarians up to date with the latest developments in  
Internet referencing and librarianship. This peer-reviewed quarterly  
journal is designed to function as a comprehensive information source  
librarians can turn to and count on for keeping up-to-date on  
emerging technological innovations, while emphasizing theoretical,  
research, and practical applications of Internet-related information  
services, sources, and resources. Librarians from any size or type of  
library in any discipline get the knowledge needed on how to best  
improve service through one of the most powerful reference tools  
available - the Internet.

In Internet Reference Services Quarterly, experts from every aspect  
of librarianship provide unique perspectives and studies of this  
constantly evolving resource. The journal will keep you up-to-date  
with essential information on:

* course management systems
* blogs
* statistical packages and analyzers
* Web tutorials
* streaming video and audio
* library Web site innovations
* digital or chat reference
* digital collections and digital object repositories
* Internet and copyright law
* link resolvers
* federated searching technologies
* management of electronic resources
* IT library mergers
* Internet security
* iPods and carry-along collections on handheld devices
* archive, catalog, collection development, and circulation issues
* instruction and distance education

Occasionally the journal focuses on a single theme to provide an in- 
depth look at an important subject. Past themed issues have covered  
improving Internet reference services to distance learners and Web  
resources on bioterrorism and political violence. In addition,  
Internet Reference Services Quarterly includes a book review section  
overseen by Virginia E. Young, Director of McGraw-Page Library at  
Randolph-Macon College, that presents synopses and analysis of  
Internet-related monographs and serials.

Internet Reference Services Quarterly presents top-notch writers and  
experts in the field to give you the quality practical information  
you require. As a librarian from any size or type of library  
(research, academic, public, school, special, or corporate) no matter  
what discipline (administrative services, reference services,  
interlibrary loan, acquisitions, collection development,  
bibliographic instruction, cataloging, etc.), this journal is a must- 
have for anyone interested in increasing library service staff skills  
and providing the best, most innovative service to library users.
