The Journal of Library Services for Distance Education
(http://www.westga.edu/library/jlsde/), a peer-reviewed e-journal,
requests submissions of manuscripts for its next issue (anticipated
publication date November 1998).
International in scope, this scholarly e-journal publishes refereed
articles focusing on the issues and challenges of providing
research/information services to students enrolled in formal post-
secondary distance education. It particularly strives to meet the
continuing education needs of practitioners by providing a forum for the
discussion of extended learning policies and practices, and trends in
information technology as they impact the delivery of library services for
distance learners and faculty. Articles may be philosophical and/or
quantitative analyses of off-campus library issues, and may take the form
of case studies, research studies, or general interest reports. Sample
topics: role/history of library services to distance education, standards
for such services, organization/planning of new services, library
instruction for remote users, document delivery, inter-library
cooperation, providing/creating access to bibliographic and other library
resources, costs of such services, research on remote users'
information-seeking behaviors, etc. Book reviews, conference reports,
literature reviews, news items, URLs for homepages of off-campus library
services worldwide, announcements of conferences and publications, and
letters to the editor are also invited.
Original manuscripts will be accepted by email or on IBM-compatible 3.5 HD
diskette (WordPerfect preferred), and must not have already been published
or submitted elsewhere. Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged.
You may contact the editor at the address below if you wish to discuss the
suitability of your proposed writing project prior to actual submission.
Articles will be evaluated using a blind-reviewing process. Authors are
responsible for obtaining permission from the copyright owner to use any
material from another source. Authors will retain copyright. Citations in
bibliographies must be formatted according to the most recent edition of
the Chicago Manual of Style.
