GoalsTo serve as a repository for electronic

resources in Library & Information Science (LIS) and Information Technology (IT)

Two areas of special emphasisInformation Literacy: Papers, Bibliographic Information Materials, Pathfinders, TutorialsInformetrics: Research publications and accompanying data sets

DLIST Nuts and Bolts

Eprints v.2.1.Developed at the University of Southampton

Principal Ideas Self-archivingDiscipline RepositoryInteroperability

Advantages of depositing in DLIST

Visibility and impact of deposited work increases.Barriers to access of materials in LIS and IT are lowered by making them freely available.A wide range of resources created by researchers and practitioners in LIS and IT are available.Global access to academic information is enabled. DLIST contents are accessible through the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.

Who are we targeting?

Educators and Researchers in Library & Information Science and Information Technology can self-register and deposit their papers.

Practitioner partners can contribute ‘papers’, ‘bibliographies’, ‘pathfinders’, ‘help pages’, ‘guides’, ‘tutorials’ etc.
