Publisher Taylor & Francis Group, UK, and the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) have announced a new publishing partnership for 2013. Beginning January 1, 2013 Taylor & Francis will publish and distribute ALIA's two highly regarded journals, The Australian Library Journal and Australian Academic & Research Libraries, under the Routledge imprint.
The partnership is a positive step for both parties and will bring The Australian Library Journal and Australian Academic & Research Libraries to the attention of a wider audience internationally through Routledge's state-of-the-art online publishing, high-quality production, and innovative marketing strategies.
The Australian Library Journal (The ALJ) is an internationally recognised journal that showcases the best of Australian library and information research and practice. It has been reaching discerning and influential Australian libraries since 1951. Published quarterly, it contains a wide coverage of Australian library issues ranging from ongoing research to day-to-day articles from practitioners in the workplace.
Australian Academic & Research Libraries (AARL) is a quarterly journal devoted to all aspects of librarianship in university and college libraries, including the Technical and Further Education sector, and in research libraries of all types. It publishes original, refereed contributions on all aspects of librarianship past and present, pure and applied bibliography, publishing, information science and related subjects.
The ALJ and AARL will join Routledge's extensive list of more than 30 library and information science journals, covering a range of topics and issues related to librarianship. These journals are packaged through Taylor & Francis' Library & Information Science Online Journal Subject Collection and the Library & Information Science Online Archive Package. Starting in 2013, The ALJ and AARL will also be included in these packages.
