  Information Technology (IT)
• Two areas of special emphasis
• Information Literacy Papers, Bibliographic
  Information Materials, Pathfinders, Tutorials
• Informetrics Research publications and
  accompanying data sets

Advantages of depositing in DLIST

• Visibility and impact of deposited work
  increases.
• Barriers to access of materials in LIS and IT are
  lowered by making them freely available.
• A wide range of resources created by researchers
  and practitioners in LIS and IT are available.
• Global access to academic information is enabled.
  DLIST contents are accessible through the Open
  Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata
  Harvesting.

Who are we targeting?

• Educators and Researchers in Library
  Information Science and Information Technology
  can self-register and deposit their papers.
• Practitioner partners can contribute papers,
  bibliographies, pathfinders, help pages,
  guides, tutorials etc.
