It highlights the rapid changes in information technology which are affecting the activities of the profession, and the manner in which previously disparate disciplines in art documentation are drawing together. At the same time it is a journal rooted in the traditional concerns of art libraries. The majority of the ALfs articles are specially commissioned, but relevant conference papers are also published, including selected contributions to the annual meetings of the IFLA Section of Art Libraries. In addition, the Section of Art Libraries Newsletter is currently distributed gratis to Art Libraries Journal subscribers. Contributions and correspondence are invited and should be submitted to the Editor. Regular features include: • reviews of bibliographies and core reference works within the broad area of the visual arts, and of books about, or relevant to, art librarianship • an annual Bibliographies Update providing current awareness of art bibliogra- phies of all kinds, including bibliographical databases • an Annual Bibliography of Art Librarianship, which records significant writings on art librarianship, wherever and in whatever language they appear • an annual index to the contents. The ALJ publishes material in English, French, German and Spanish; articles in languages other than English are accompanied by an English summary. The ALJ normally appears in March, May, September and January of each year, and goes to libraries in over 40 countries.
