Improved practice will help produce economic benefits, and special attention should be given to problems concerning libraries in Developing Countries. But on occasion the Journal will publish articles on specified topics by non-IFLA contributors. Any reader interested in preparing such an article is invited to submit the paper to the Editor.

The views and interpretations in articles published are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the policies of IFLA or ASpB. Comments or brief notes responding to Journal articles are welcome and will be considered for publication to the extent that space permits.
