From 1984 to 1989, GSLIS published the International Journal of Reviews in Library and Information Science. In 1990, GSLIS began Third World Libraries, a professional journal with a focus on libraries and socioeconomic development in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Its scope was broadened and the title changed to World Libraries in 1996. World Libraries is published twice a year and is indexed in Library Literature, Library and Information Science Abstracts, PAIS International, PAIS Select and Current Index to Journals in Education.
Beginning in the summer of 2005 WL has evolved into an electronic journal, first co-publishing with the print edition and then moving to an internet only edition. In addition to publishing new issues, the journal will continue to add articles from our archive as well as unique, web only content.
