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, hazel.woodward at cranfield.ac.uk by the 18th December 2009.
Successful authors will be contacted by 15th January 2010 with a manuscript
deadline of 19th March 2010. 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.
