Hi Andy, > LITA's peer-reviewed quarterly journal, is online and accessible to all > LITA members. Issues older than six months are open to all. I can't say as I understand how restricting access to the articles benefits the authors, LITA members, or the general public. Just out of curiosity, what's the thinking on that? > One of the most important features of ITALica is a forum for readers' > conversations with our authors, wherein authors host and monitor > discussion for a period of time after publication of their articles, > so that you then have a chance to interact with them. Per the above question, how does that forum stuff work? Do LITA member readers have a conversation amongst themselves and then six months later, there's another conversation with readers who are non-LITA-members? Or by then, are the authors no longer monitoring the discussion? -- Michael # Michael Doran, Systems Librarian # University of Texas at Arlington # 817-272-5326 office # 817-688-1926 mobile # [log in to unmask] # http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Andy Boze > Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2011 10:21 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [CODE4LIB] [ANNOUNCEMENT] : March 2011 issue of ITALica, a weblog > on libraries and information technology... > > Cross-posted; apologies for duplication. > ********************************************* > > Hello friends, > > The March 2011 issue of /Information Technology and Libraries/ (ITAL), > LITA's peer-reviewed quarterly journal, is online and accessible to all > LITA members.
