 The journal will be having global coverage with local focus and would 
provide a platform for decision-makers, planners, consultants, library and 
information science professionals to share their experiences. It will also 
facilitate dialogue among the digital library communities.
 
 Articles and reviews should examine concepts, analyses, new approaches, 
and techniques pertaining to this field. Case studies covering new 
initiatives, as well as procedural breakthroughs of important issues in 
the digital library field would be included. Book reviews will cover 
recent books in the field, reviewed by an independent reviewer.
 
 All submissions will be peer-reviewed using the criteria of originality, 
accuracy, and quality of contribution in these fields. The journal will 
also provide an update on topical developments in the field; notes on
