Aims & Scope

LIBER Quarterly seeks to cover all aspects of modern research librarianship and scientific information delivery. It strives to form a bridge between the scholars of the Library and Information Sciences (LIS) and the practitioners in our university and research libraries by publishing not only theoretical contributions, but also examples of good practices. Contributions from outside of Europe are welcome whenever their subject may be relevant for the librarians and researchers in European research institutes.
