Open call for new collaborators - e-LIS, open repository for library and information science

e-LIS, international open repository for Library and Information Science (LIS), is looking for new volunteers to collaborate in the editorial team during mid-2013 and for a two-year period. Established in 2003, e-LIS is as the largest international open repository in the field of library and information science. 

e-LIS is looking for new team members with academic strength and institutional support. The new collaborators will be part of the editorial board which makes possible the ingestion of new documents according to the e-LIS policies and widely used standards. Members of the Library and Information Science community are invited to submit applications to join the current team composed of 60 volunteers from 30 countries. 

Applications should include (1) a cover letter with a statement describing the editors’ goals for participating in e-LIS; (2) a current curriculum vitae; and, if possible (3) a confirmation of institutional support from the appropriate authority. Enquiries can be made to e-LIS Founder & Chief Executive, Imma Subirats at [email protected].  

The closing date for applications is June 15, 2013. Decisions will be made by the e-LIS administrative board and notified before August 1, 2013.
