-------- Original Message -------- Subject: LIBRES - CALL FOR PAPERS Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 16:28:28 +0800 From: Kerry Smith <kerry@biblio.curtin.edu.au> Dear colleagues Cross posted to numerous lists. Please forgive any duplication. Have you undertaken a research project in your library/information environment? Why not write it up and have it published in an electronic journal? LIBRES http://libres.curtin.edu.au/ publishes refereed and non-refereed articles, reports, and drafts as well as news and discussion of library and information science research, applications, and events. The March 2000 issue http://libres.curtin.edu.au/libres10n1/index.htm includes a paper by M. Kendall and J. Eve on Changes through IT in public libraries: advantages of carrying out research via a training course. The next issue is due in September 2000 so there is time for you to get your paper to us for consideration. LIBRES has a number of sections: 1 Research and applications (refereed). Peer-reviewed scholarly articles from multiple sub-disciplines of library and information science on such topics as analysis, evaluation, applications (reports of progress at libraries),and other research in the library and information service environment. The journal has an eclectic and growing group of Associate Editors who assist with the refereeing of papers (see: http://libres.curtin.edu.au/editors.htm) Scott Seaman ( Research and Applications Editor) University of Colorado, Boulder seaman@spot.colorado.edu 2. Essays and opinions section (non-refereed). Articles for this section can be of a similar nature to those described in the refereed section above, but of a less formal structure. They often take the form of a researched essay. Ann Curry (Essays and Opinions Editor) University of British Columbia ann.curry@ubc.ca 3. Reviews of print and electronic resources and other discussions (non-refereed). Suzanne is based in the US and has her network of colleagues who assist with book reviews. I am sure she would also consider any LIS reviews which you may wish to contribute. Editor: Suzanne Milton smilton@ewu.edu The journal maintains a Conference page of upcoming conferences and this is at: http://libres.curtin.edu.au/meetings.htm and I offer contributions from information I have gleaned off the Net and other means in the News and Journals sections. The journal relies more and more on the potential of web-based technology and we encourage our contributors to send their articles into us in this fashion. We are able to convert material if necessary. We look forward to hearing from you.
