About the journal
ITlib – Information Technologies and Librarianship is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on both theoretical and practical issues at the intersection of library and information science and information technologies. Published by the Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information (SCSTI), the journal provides a platform for researchers, professionals, and practitioners to share insights, foster innovation, and explore the latest developments in modern librarianship.
Focus and Scope
In addition to its established coverage of library and information science and related technologies, ITlib welcomes contributions that delve into forward-looking topics, including:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in librarianship (e.g., chatbots, machine learning for metadata creation, and automated research support)
- Digital Humanities, especially the convergence of cultural heritage, data analytics, and technological innovation
- Long-Term Preservation (LTP) strategies for ensuring accessibility and integrity of digital content
- Digitization and processing of information resources, including workflows, best practices, and case studies
- Library Information Systems, from next-generation integrated library systems to discovery tools
- Innovations in library services and practices, reflecting emerging trends, project implementations, and creative service models
While these themes represent core focal areas, ITlib also encourages submissions on other relevant topics within the broader realm of library and information science and practice.
Publication Frequency
The journal is published twice a year, in June and December.
Review Process
All submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process, which may include an independent review or a review conducted by the editorial board. This ensures the highest quality of published content and upholds the journal’s academic and professional standards.
