"Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS) has been the official journal of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services for several decades. Its purpose is to communicate thoughtful reflection on practice as well as research. Any contribution will be considered that takes a critical approach to the questions and problems facing libraries with regard to:

• collections (physical and electronic),
• preservation (including digitization),
• acquisitions (including economic elements of acquisition and licensing),
• serials (in all media), and
• cataloging and classification (of all types of objects).

LRTS is intended to be the primary communication tool of all librarians, information professional, and educators interested in the above areas. We encourage the submission of papers that deal with any related topic. All submissions will be rigorously reviewed to insure that all published articles are of high quality. The editor and members of the editorial board will work with authors whose work is promising in order to improve methodology, analysis, or presentation. For the profession to thrive, beginning professionals, as well as experienced librarians, should address the most pressing issues we face. While the review process LRTS adheres to suits anyone who is in a tenure-track position, the goal of the journal is to present reflective practice. Articles on operations in libraries will be considered, as long as they communicate an evaluative approach to practice and a serious examination of the work’s impact on libraries in general. We do not limit the journal’s content to a narrow definition of research that limits method or perspective.

Any interested author can contact the editor with an idea or to submit a paper."
