Information Technology and Libraries Changes to Open Access Format

The journal Information Technology and Libraries has announced that it will become an open-access, electronic-only publication, beginning with the March 2012 issue (volume 31, issue 1):

"This change will help ensure the long-term viability of the journal by making it more accessible, more current, more relevant, and more environmentally friendly. ITAL will continue to feature high-quality articles that have undergone a rigorous peer-review process, but it will also begin expanding content to include more case studies, commentary, and information about topics and trends of interest to the LITA community and beyond."

LITA is the Library and Information Technology Association, a division of the American Library Association.
