CALL FOR ARTICLES/IDEAS 

As co-editor for ‘Library Hi Tech News’ (LHTN), I am looking for articles on hot-topics such as the ones suggested below or any innovative use of technology for library applications and services.  We are also looking for reports of library and non-library technology conferences.  LHTN is a non-refereed publication which comes out ten times a year, so articles submitted can be published fairly quickly.  In some cases your report on an innovative use of technology can later be submitted as a research paper in one of Emerald’s peer-reviewed journals such as ‘Reference Services Review’, ‘Library Hi Tech’ and others.  So, you might think of your article as being a “poster sessions in print” and a way to get your information/ideas out to a wide international readership.
