Subject: Internet research register

Library Management Internet research register

Library Management would like to offer you the opportunity of registering
details of research projects on which you or your organization/institution
are working, for publication in a searchable, browseable on-line database
from March 1999.  The database will be available to all those organisations
which subscribe to the full-service Library Management; all registrants; and
members of selected professional associations/institutes. The service will
be a comprehensive database which will be international in coverage.

Editorial objectives
The research register will report on current research worldwide, and
research completed during the past six months, which focuses on any aspect
of the management and library and information services.  Research may be
linked to an academic course of study or project, be independent, or
organization-based/in-house.  The register aims to maintain a sound balance
between theory and practice.  Entries which report on applied research are,
therefore,  particularly welcome.

Benefits of registering your research
A research register provides the scholarly community with pre-publication
information and the potential for further networking.  It provides the
practitioner community with early information on new areas for application
and development.  It also allows the researcher to:

- Make sure that you are not duplicating research already under way
- Identify possible research methodologies
- Identify peers for collaborative research projects
- Identify possible sources of funding for research
- Identify types of research under way, e.g. theoretical, applied research,
case study
- Identify areas where research is needed

The research register will build up into a resource enabling the history of
research in a particular area, to be tracked.

Why Internet?
An on-line research register has functional possibilities not achievable
with either print or CD-ROM format.  It is possible for an online facility
to be “live”, i.e. updated on a continuous basis, and make hyperlinks to the
location of publications which have resulted from research.

The host journal
The journal hosting the research register is Library Management published by
MCB University Press (UK).   If you are not already familiar with it, you
may like to view the journal web page at http://www.mcb.co.uk/lm.htm
