E-LIS is short for Eprints in Library and Information Science. It is an international open archive for scientific papers in library and information science. Established in 2003, E-LIS is an international open archive for library and information science. Being the first international e-server in this area, E-LIS is organised, managed and maintained by an international team of librarians, with different backgrounds.

VÖB - Vereinigung Österreichischer Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare [Association of Austrian Librarians] represents approximately 1.200 members mainly from academic and research libraries in Austria. It was founded in 1945, and its predecessor, the Österreichische Verein für Bibliothekswesen [Austrian Association for Librarianship] dates back to 1896.

The VÖB organizes conferences and publishes the quarterly journal Mitteilungen der Vereinigung Österreichischer Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare (ISSN 1022-2588) and the book series Schriften der Vereinigung Österreichischer Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare which contains conference proceedings and monographs on library and information studies.

From 2011 on, the journal articles will be available open access in E-LIS. Papers from the proceedings of the ODOK, a biennial conference jointly organized by the VÖB and the ÖGDI – Österreichische Gesellschaft für Dokumentation und Information [Austrian Society for Documentation and Information] are available in E-LIS beginning with the publication year 2007.
