Propose a chapter for this book

The ALIS Book Series aims to expand the body of library science literature by covering a wide range of topics affecting the profession and field at large. The series also seeks to provide readers with an essential resource for uncovering the latest research in library and information science management, development, and technologies.

Introduction
Information science is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the collection, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information. This field allows users to find resources and information for personal, academic, and business needs. At one time users had to go to the physical library to search for the needed information, but with the growth of the Internet and new technology a visit to the library is not always necessary. New technology provides researchers access to library resources using a mobile device. The use of mobile technology changes the field of information science. For libraries this means people no longer have to come into the library to find the information they need for a research project or to receive help from a librarian. Remote access to the library's collections and services changes the role of the library in the research process and the types of materials added to the collection.

Objective of the Book
This book will provide a resource for librarians to improve and expand their user?s ability to access library resources and services. It will provide readers with the types of technology and collections, both proprietary and open access, they can use to meet the needs of their users. Technology changes rapidly and the book will focus not only on existing technology but also explore new technology. Librarians are no longer confined to a physical space. Remote access provides new opportunities for librarians, library administration, campus IT departments, online instructors and others to provide services to their users.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of academic librarians, campus IT services, systems librarians, library administrators, reference/instruction librarians, online learning programs, online instructors, and distance learning librarians. This book will provide information and serve as a resource on to how to better use existing technology and identify new technology that will improve or expand existing library services.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
