Cross-posted; apologies for duplication. ********************************************* Hello friends, The June 2011 issue of /Information Technology and Libraries/ (ITAL), LITA's peer-reviewed quarterly journal, is online and accessible to all LITA members. Issues older than six months are open to all. ITAL's main page is at <http://www.lita.org/ala/mgrps/divs/lita/ital/italinformation.cfm>. ITALica <http://ital-ica.blogspot.com/>, the weblog discussion area for ITAL, has been updated with information about the latest issue. ITALica features supplementary materials not included with the regular print and electronic versions of /Information Technology and Libraries/, such as "letters to the editor", updates to articles, and other materials we can't work into the journal. 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. ITALica offers you the opportunity to discuss with the following ITAL authors their papers in the latest issue: "Management and Support of Shared Integrated Library Systems" / Jason Vaughan and Kristen Costello "Benign Neglect: Developing Life Rafts for Digital Content" / Jody L. DeRidder "Seeing the Wood for the Trees: Enhancing Metadata Subject Elements with Weights" / Hong Zhang, Linda C. Smith, Michael Twidale, and Fang Huang Gao "Building an Open Source Institutional Repository at a Small Law School Library: Is it Realistic or Unattainable?" / Fang Wang No membership is required to view or participate in ITALica. We hope to see you there! -- Andy Boze Web site Manager, ITAL, for the Editorial Board
