dLIST is a cross-institutional, subject-based, open access digital archive
for the Information Sciences, including Archives and Records Management,
Library and Information Science, Information Systems, Museum Informatics,
and other critical information infrastructures. The dLIST vision is to
serve as a trusted archive and source for scholarly communication in the
Information Sciences, broadly understood. dLIST seeks to positively impact
and shape scholarly communication in our closely related fields. Editors
represent diverse sub-disciplinary communities and work closely with
scholars in different fields such as Digital Humanities and Digital
Libraries (Marija Dalbello), Government Information and Social Informatics
(Kristin Eschenfelder), Information Behaviors (Soo Young Rieh), Museum
Informatics (Paul Marty), Scholarly Communication (Charles Bailey),
Science Technology Studies (Fernando Elichirigoity), and Classics (Michael
May). More information about each of the dLIST editors is available at
