Randy Diamond and I are delighted to present the Legal Information &
Technology eJournal to the law library community. The archive already
includes over 150 papers and is growing daily. Subscribers will soon
start receiving email issues announcing works in progress and recent
publications. SSRN will issue a formal announcement soon, but we are
pleased to provide a pre-launch viewing.

Journal Description:
http://www.ssrn.com/update/lsn/lsn_legal-info-tech.html
We thank the journal's founding sponsor MALLCO, the Mid-America Law
Consortium for their generous support. Without MALLCO's backing, this
would not have gotten off the ground so quickly. We also thank the
advisory board for their encouragement and thoughtful ideas about
direction and focus. And we thank Janet Sinder from LLJ, Mike Chiorazzi
from LRSQ, Mark Engsberg from IJLI, and Mary Hotchkiss from Perspectives
for their efforts to maximize availability of their journals' content on
the new eJournal. One of our goals for the eJournal is to generate more
articles for the professional literature.
We are excited about the journal on several fronts. We aim to make it
the premier eJournal in the field by featuring the works of law
librarians and other academics. Obtaining feedback on works in progress,
developing the profession's scholarly agenda, and presenting our work to
a wider audience are just a few examples of the journal's potential. We
hope it will inspire more of us to write, to share our work more readily
within the profession, and to extend our knowledge to the broader legal
academy and other disciplines interested in our field and expertise. The
journal welcomes all significant contributions to legal information
scholarship and to the practice of law librarianship

We are in the process of inviting LLJ, LRSQ, IJLI, and Perspectives
authors to post their works back to 2005 and welcome all other
publications from that time frame fitting within the journal's subject
matter. If you already have an SSRN account please upload your paper and
classify it under the Legal Scholarship Network > LSN Subject Matter
eJournals > Legal Information & Technology eJournal.
If you do not have an SSRN account it is very easy to set one up and
upload your paper for free at: http://www.ssrn.com
We have also attempted to identify papers previously posted to SSRN for
inclusion. In the short time frame we have been working, we will surely
have missed some. If your paper is already on SSRN and we have not
contacted you, please let us know and we can have it reclassified under
the Legal Information & Technology eJournal.
We hope you enjoy the eJournal and welcome your feedback and
suggestions.
