Journal of Internet Cataloging

The Journal of Internet Cataloging (JIC) is an international quarterly focusing on the organization, bibliographic control, and access of Internet resources. Its editor is currently soliciting scholarly articles of both a theoretical and practical nature. In addressing the much-expressed need to organize and make available scholarly research on Internet organization and access, JIC intends to serve as a valued platform communicating research for professionals working in this area.

While recognizing the importance of traditional library practices in organizing materials, JIC will publish articles from a wide range of fields and areas of research pertaining broadly to the organization and access of Internet materials. Appropriate topics include novel ways of organizing Web sites, the use of specific search engines and indexing schemes, aspects of subject analysis and classification specific to Internet resources, the use of mark-up languages to facilitate organization and access to materials, and managerial or administrative issues dealing with policy or planning. The types of materials covered could include electronic text, graphic materials, software, data, or bibliographic databases. Additional topics of interest could focus on user behavior and on social theories of information organization and access.

Because of the inherently international nature of the Internet, JIC will actively solicit articles from researchers around the world. Articles appearing in JIC will be subject to formal peer review by a distinguished board of editors who have played leading roles in the development of the organization and access of Internet-based materials.

The Journal of Internet Cataloging is edited by Ruth Carter. It is published by Haworth Press, a respected publisher well known in the library community for a number of professional journals in the field of librarianship.

Roger Brisson, JIC's editor for Network Access and Applications, maintains a Web homepage for the journal.
