The PACS Review is a refereed electronic journal, established in 1989, that publishes articles on campus-wide information systems, CD-ROM LANs, document delivery systems, electronic publishing, expert systems, hypermedia and multimedia systems, locally mounted databases, network-based information resources and tools, and online catalogs.

Starting with the volume six, number one issue, the PACS Review: (1) publishes articles in both ASCII and HTML formats, (2) offers HTML articles with both internal and external links, and (3) gives authors the option of updating articles. (Updated articles are subject to normal editorial procedures.)

The PACS Review allows authors to retain the copyright to their articles and to republish them elsewhere.

Since the journal has an irregular publication schedule, article deadlines can be set to accommodate the demands of authors' busy schedules. Unlike print journals, the PACS Review can publish accepted articles quickly.

The first four volumes of the PACS Review have also been published in book form by the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA); volume five is in preparation.

The current issue contains a bibliography on scholarly publishing on the Internet and other networks, which is described below:

This bibliography presents selected works, published between 1990 and the present, that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet and other networks. It has the following major sections:

directories, economic issues, electronic books, electronic serials, future scenarios, general works, legal issues, library issues, new publishing models, publisher issues, and related electronic resources. It does not provide detailed coverage of the substantial body of literature that deals with general electronic publishing topics.

The HTML version of the paper is updated by the author, and it has been updated since its original publication.
