[Web4lib] Call for Papers: Code4Lib Journal

[Ron Peterson]

Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting): 
 
The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information 
among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the 
future. 
 
The Code4Lib Journal is now accepting proposals for publication in its 12th 
issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. 
To be included in the 12th issue, which is scheduled for publication in mid 
December 2010, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at 
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to c4lj-articles at googlegroups.com 
by Friday, September 17, 2010. When submitting, please include the title or 
subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message. 

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions 
across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. 
Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical)   
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were 
done and challenges faced   

* Case studies   
* Best practices   
* Reviews   
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries   
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology   
* Project management and communication within the library environment   
* Assessment and user studies 
 
C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to 
publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow 
any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog 
posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we 
encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more 
information, visit C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the 
first 10 issues published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org. 


Remember, for consideration for the 12th issue, please send proposals, 
abstracts, or draft articles to c4lj-articles at googlegroups.com no later than 
Friday, September 17, 2010. 


Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.
