Instructions for authors

Dear Author,

If you wish to publish your work in the EBIB Bulletin, please familiarize yourself with the general publishing rules.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The EBIB service was first launched in 1999. It was only a year later that the bulletin’s abstracts were being published in English making it accessible around the world over the Internet. Our main strategic goal is to publish EBIB in English and to promote it in the most important library information bulletins in the world. For this reason, we continue to strive for improving the quality of our journal and encouraging the library community to collaborate with us on this mission.

While working to enhance the quality of this publication, we also need to respect the laws and regulations pertaining to electronic publications. For this reason, we have implemented new methods of working together with authors which, at first, can seem a bit arduous and yet, necessary. It is our sincere hope that you will agree to follow our guidelines.
