Alexandria, v. 19 - The Journal of National and International Library and Information Issues (Paperback)

"Alexandria, the Journal of National and International Library and Information Issues", now in its sixteenth year, is published by Ashgate in association with the British Library. Issued three times a year, the journal is concerned with policy, practice and, where appropriate, theory. It features descriptive articles on particular national or major research libraries, or on the situation within a country or a region with regard to such matters as bibliographic networks, cooperative provision of library materials, interlibrary document supply and national information planning. Discussion papers are also welcomed on issues such as national retention policies, international access to databases and transborder information flow. Reviews of books or reports within the journal's scope are also included.Alexandria has always aimed at a high academic standard and rigorous control has always been exercised on the contents of the journal. To maintain this, all papers now undergo a refereeing process.
