Starting 2024, LIBRI will be transferred to Open Access on a year-by-year basis. All articles will thus immediately appear under the Creative Commons license CC-BY. There will be no publication costs for the authors. The Open Access transformation is based on Subscribe-to-Open, an alternative model that enables the full Open Access transformation of journals through the continuation of existing subscriptions. The prerequisite for successful transformation is that subscriptions are continued to the same extent as before. The editors of LIBRI and the publisher De Gruyter would therefore like to thank all subscribers for their support, which has made the transformation to Open Access possible.
LIBRI was established in 1950 and is a leading international scholarly journal which investigates the aspects of library and information studies from both a historical and present-day perspective and analyses the role of information and knowledge in cultural, organizational, national and international developments.
LIBRI reports on current trends in library and information studies worldwide and describes their resulting transformation from the introduction of new information and communication technologies, multidisciplinary approaches, changing practices, and evolving methods. Background information and the latest research findings in library and information studies are made accessible to academics, practitioners, and a broader public. Topics that are covered include, but are not limited to:
(We do not publish articles on scientometrics, bibliometrics, webometrics, altmetrics etc., as there are a number of specialist journals that does so.)
