E-LIS: Open Archive for Librarianship

Dear all,
E-LIS (http://eprints.rclis.org/) is an open access archive for scientific or technical documents, published or unpublished, on Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related areas. E-LIS relies on the voluntary work of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and is non-commercial. It is not a funded project of an organization. It is community-owned and community-driven. We serve LIS researchers by facilitating their self-archiving, ensuring the long-term preservation of their documents and by providing word-wide easy access to their papers.
As on today it has around 4870 Full text documents, and it has only around 335 from Indian LIS professionals. We request you to kindly archive your publications on E-LIS and give more visibility to LIS research in India. Visit http://eprints.rclis.org/ for more details.
Removal of Price and Permission barriers are the promises of Open Access, which makes Librarians as the advocates and Practitioners of OA Movement. As advocates of Open Access, we need to deposit our own works E-LIS.
Please deposit your works and publications at E-LIS, the popular international Archive for LIS field. If you have any technical problems, E-LIS Editors will help you. Visit http://eprints.rclis.org/ for more details.
