Call for papers

 

We are currently seeking content for volume 63 (2012) of The Serials Librarian, the journal for continuing print and electronic resources published by Taylor and Francis and affiliated with NASIG.

 

Although we are keen to see scholarly articles on any aspect of continuing resources (acquisition, promotion, cataloguing, development), we are also on the look-out for information on projects relating to serials management from around the world, especially from Europe, Australasia, and Asia.  We have opportunities for authors to contribute material to our popular columns which exist on a range of subjects, and would welcome case studies on how your institutions and organisations are currently monitoring and managing your collections.

 

Finally, we would welcome contributions from our colleagues in publishing to give a different perspective to that of the subscriber or end-user.  We are not looking for articles or pieces which promote a particular company, but would welcome approaches from this sector.

 

You may view the Instructions for Authors at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/WSERauth.asp.

 

Please contact editors Louise and Andrew at editorserialslib@gmail.com in the first instance with your ideas and proposed submissions intended for The Serials Librarian.

 

Calling all bloggers!

 

The Serials Librarian editors are currently working on the launch of a blog to go live in early 2012 which will feed into and supplement content within the journal proper.  We are open to any and all ideas – for some possibilities please see the ‘Perceptions and Reflections’ columns in the journal, or we would love to hear your own current preoccupations and areas of interest. 

 

Items written for the blog do not need to be in a formal or ‘Letters to the Editor’ style, as long as they are succinct, interesting, and relevant.  We would like to see material from regular authors or new faces alike.  Approaches from authors who would like to write regularly for our blog are also welcome.

 

Please contact editors Louise and Andrew at editorserialslib@gmail.com with any ideas or submissions for our blog.  Please put ‘SL blog’ as part of your subject line.

 

Thanks

Louise Cole

Andrew Shroyer
