New Review of Academic Librarianship
Themed open access issue in 2010 on scholarly communication
CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS
The New Review of Academic Librarianship, a peer-reviewed journal
from Taylor & Francis, will be publishing a special, open access
issue in October 2010 on the dissemination of scholarly
communication and the roles for university libraries. The issue,
sponsored by JISC, will be guest edited by Dr Hazel Woodward,
University Librarian of Cranfield University, working with the
Editor Dr Graham Walton of Loughborough University (both UK). New
technologies and ideologies are challenging the roles and future
for many stakeholders in scholarly communication. This themed
issue intends to capture the ideas, views and developments to
help inform how scholarly communication moves forward in the
future.
Expressions of interest are welcome from library practitioners
and researchers and proposed articles should be evidence-based,
scholarly articles on specific aspects of scholarly communication
within a library context. Areas of interest include open access
publishing, institutional repositories, university publishing
houses, Web 2.0 tools and developing the scholar as an author.
If you are interested in submitting an article, please send a
title and an abstract of approximately 250 words directly to the
guest editor, Dr Hazel Woodward, [log in to unmask],
by the 18th December 2009. Successful authors will be contacted
by 15th January 2010 with a manuscript deadline of 19th March.
Inquiries and questions are welcome. JISC is a UK national
organisation responsible for inspiring "colleges and universities
in the innovative use of digital technologies". Instructions for
authors are available at www.informaworld.com or can be emailed
to you directly.
