British library and information schools

This is the first in a series of special issues of Aslib Proceedings: New Information Perspectives devoted to the research output of British library and information schools. With the RAE two years off it gives institutions an opportunity to demonstrate the quality and range of their research and scholarship. It is fitting that we start with The UCL School of Library, Archive and Information Studies (SLAIS), as it was the first library school to be established. The next two schools in the series will be Information Management, Department of Applied Social Sciences, London Metropolitan University and the Department of Information Studies, University of Wales Aberystwyth. Others will follow.
