Library Resources & Technical Services is the official journal of ALCTS. According to Journal Citation Reports, LRTS has a five-year impact factor of 0.613.Our goal is to publish both research papers and thoughtful explorations of operational issues that have value and implications for other libraries, along with books reviews and editorials. We have recently posted two documents to help potential authors: Tips for Turning a Presentation into a Paper (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authtips.cfm) and Elements of a Research Report (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authrpt.cfm). Additional resources available on the LRTS website are instructions for authors (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authinst.cfm), FAQ for authors (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authfaq.cfm), and a list of suggested readings (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authres.cfm). Manuscripts are submitted using our online editorial management system (www.editorialmanager.com/lrts). I encourage you to consider LRTS as your publishing venue.
