Un nouveau périodique professionnel semble avoir fait son apparition : il
s'agit du "Journal of Web
Librarianship", la revue du bibliogeek ^^, et est proposé par
l'éditeur Haworth Press qui propose déjà de nombreux autres
titres professionnels anglo-américains comme "Journal of Library
& Information Services in Distance Learning", "Journal of Electronic
Resources in Medical Libraries", "Journal of Electronic
Resources in Law Libraries", "Journal of Access
Services"...
Ce nouveau titre est destiné aux bibliothécaires en charges de produits
numériques, de services de bibliothèques numérique et aux chercheurs qui
réflechissent sur ces questions :
As the digital world for libraries quickly evolves,
librarians need a dependable resource to find the latest and best information
on how to fulfill their diverse roles and responsibilities within the virtual
world. The Journal of Web Librarianship provides a needed forum for exploring
the multidimensional applications of the Web in the library setting in the
twenty-first century. This high quality quarterly journal presents
peer-reviewed theoretical, research, and practical articles from leading
experts related to Web librarianship in its many facets. Topics focus
specifically on the issues that relate to the Web, including the integration of
the Web into various aspects of library functions, Web page design, search
engines, information architecture, and future aspects of Web librarianship.

The Journal of
Web Librarianship offers regular columns or sections on:
- social communities and virtual spaces on the
Web
- web-related library projects in countries beyond the United States
- reviews on books or other resources that are relevant to Web
librarianship
- periodic publishing of a research agenda for Web librarianship—including a
review of the literature and identification of topics sorely needing research
attention
