After
a successful first issue, the editorial team of Partnership: the Canadian
Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research is preparing the
Spring 2007 issue. We are looking for interesting articles for our peer
reviewed sections, including Innovations in Practice, Theory and Research and
the Conference Spotlight. The next deadline for submissions to these
sections is February 28th, 2007. To submit article go to www.partnershipjournal.ca and
follow the instructions for authors.
Innovations in Practice
This
section will publish articles of 1000-4000 words that describe new initiatives
and analyze their outcomes. Articles in this section will undergo a double
blind peer review process before publication. Let others know how you put your
best ideas into practice, and what lessons can be learned from the experience.
Articles should include enough background to create a context for the general
reader, and local acronyms and specialized terminology should be kept to a
minimum or clearly explained. For more information please contact Lorie
Kloda at [log in to unmask].
Theory
and Research
May
include, but are not limited to, theoretical issues surrounding philosophies,
policies and trends in all types of library and information environments.
Research articles can be either quantitative or qualitative in nature.
Empirical models (evidence-based or experimental techniques) and exploratory
models of investigation are welcome. Articles should be 1500-5000 words and
will be subject to a double blind peer review process. For more
information please contact Heather Morrison at [log in to unmask].
Conference
Spotlight
These
contributions, based on presentations at Canadian library or library-related conferences,
may be nominated by anyone in the library community at large. Submissions could
also be recommended by members of the Editorial Board. Presenters will be
contacted and invited to prepare and send a submission. Up to three items will
ultimately be selected by the section editor for peer review for any issue of
the journal. Topics may range from theoretical to technological highlights to
view points to new practices. The format may also range widely including but
not limited to videorecordings, online posters and formal papers. The length of
the article will be guided by the format. Text-based submissions should be
1,000 to 4,000 words. Videorecordings would normally be 15 to 60 minutes.
International presenters are welcome. For more information please contact
