CFP: Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, and E-reserves

CFP: Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, and E-reserves

The Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, and E-reserves (a peer reviewed journal) is seeking articles for a special issue on common practices (not best practices). This special issue would revolve around the following how handles copyright, how are distance education issues handled, etc.

We are extremely interested in collecting statistics from a wide range of libraries: colleges of less than 5,000 students, colleges with FTE of 5,000-10,000, colleges of FTE of 10,000+. We're not interested in value judgments, but in what libraries actually do. If we receive enough volunteers to send out surveys and compile the results, this special issue may also be published as a monograph.

Interested authors should submit a brief (1 - 2 paragraphs) description of their topic to me at jpoe@jsu.edu by Friday, September 30, 2005. We would like to have the completed manuscripts by January 1, 2006.

If you have questions about this special issue, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!
