  • Access to scientific information in the last years has been one of the most complex, attractive and controversial subjects in our field. The present work collects the experience of E-LIS: Eprints for Library and Information Science [http://eprints.rclis.org/], an open archive specialized in these subjects and developed by an international group of specialists from January 2003. This international repository was created for the information professionals’ community in order to give them the biggest digital library specialized in Information Science and freely available. The different open access archives currently existing, and their relation with E-LIS, are mentioned. The main characteristics of E-LIS are described, and the statistics obtained after two years of operation are analyzed. It is concluded that the utilization of E-LIS as information source and as a way of diffusion will contribute to the unification of librarians and information professionals and to the consolidation of the Information Sciences as a scientific discipline.
