Aims & Scope

"Practical and useful solutions to existing problems!"

Science & Technology Libraries is the only peer-reviewed scholarly journal that provides you with the information and insight you need to build a stronger collection, offer better services, and stay a step ahead of the latest developments in sci-tech librarianship. Whether you're a publisher, processor, or provider of scientific information, this quarterly journal will help you address everyday issues by providing up-to-date analysis and commentary from the leading experts in instruction and other sci-tech library information services. The journal features articles, columns, and research findings that update you on the latest print and electronic resources for service and practice.

Under the editorship of David Stern, Director of Science Libraries and Information Services at Yale University, Science & Technology Libraries provides in-depth treatment of the issues that are most important to you as a sci-tech librarian. The journal includes research projects based in sci-tech libraries; research on changing use patterns of sci-tech information; evaluation of services and collections; case studies of library initiatives; and descriptions of innovative services, special collections, and special resources.

Each issue of Science & Technology Libraries includes:

  • "News of Note," the latest developments in sci-tech librarianship
  • "Visions and Directions," written by rotating editorial board members on current topics
  • "Bibliographies/Tool Watch," reviews of books, articles, database, and Web sites with a special focus on science and technology public services, collection development and management, and metadata concerns
  • "Library Organization Information Literacy Units SCI-5," covering the Latest Developments in Sci-Tech Librarianship
Science & Technology Libraries examines issues of everyday importance to you, including:
  • digitization
