Library Hi Tech News (LHTN, published by Emerald, is an established
(1984+) print and online monthly journal that quickly publishes articles
of interest on developments in library technology to our international
readership.  Although not formally peer reviewed, LHTN is indexed in
Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Library, Information
Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Scopus, INSPEC, Current Index to
Journals in Education and others.

For more information and sample articles, please see:
http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/journals.htm?id=lhtn

LHTN is interested in articles of varying lengths, reports from relevant
conferences, and case studies.  The editors will work with authors that
are new to LIS publishing, and those who are seeking outlets for reporting
on practical uses of IT in libraries.  Publishing your article in LHTN can
be “a place to start,” analogous to a “poster session in print” and does
not preclude publishing a more fulsome piece in a peer-reviewed journal at
a later date.  Readers consider LHTN the source to hear what’s coming next
in terms of technology development for academic and public libraries.
