Call for Articles: IRSQ (Internet Reference Services Quarterly)

Internet Reference Services Quarterly (IRSQ) is seeking article 
submissions.  Articles are accepted for review at any time.

Starting with v.6, 2001, IRSQ will be published in both a print and 
electronic format.  IRSQ focuses on the practical and theoretical 
applications and resources of the Internet in all aspects of librarianship 
and all sizes of libraries.  Topics in IRSQ highlight theoretical, 
research, and practical application of Internet-related information 
services, sources, and resources.

Please see the IRSQ web site at www.irsq.com for detailed instructions to 
authors.  Electronic submissions are encouraged.  Most article length 
manuscripts are peer-reviewed by IRSQ: Internet Reference Services 
Quarterly's Editorial Board.  The Editor reserves the right to 
accept/reject any manuscript.  Certain manuscripts that are invited by the 
Editor are not peer-reviewed.

The following types of articles are appropriate:

services within and among libraries.
