We are particularly interested in discussions of interdisciplinary and inter-institutional programs, such as informatics programs, collaboration with other cultural institutions (e.g., archives, museums, historical societies, etc.), and partnerships with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, as well as with government agencies. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts for inclusion in the special section on or before *February 1**, 2012*. Major research and research in progress articles, review articles and brief communications are solicited. Please refer to JELIS submission guidelines for detailed information.
