Call for Manuscripts - Internet Reference Services Quarterly
Internet Reference Services Quarterly (IRSQ), a peer-reviewed journal published by The Haworth Press, Inc., welcomes the submission of manuscripts for its next issue. This comprehensive and highly respected journal offers readers examples of cutting-edge technologies innovatively applied for the enhancement of library service. Don't let the word "reference" in the title fool you: the journal has a broader focus, seeking to highlight the theory and practice behind emerging Internet services, sources and resources in all areas of librarianship. If you are using technology to make the lives of you or your patrons better, we want to hear from you!
Research-based studies, case studies of successful services or programs, and authoritative articles highlighting best practices are welcome. Topics of interest to us include: course management systems, blogs, statistical packages and analyzers, web tutorials, federated searching technologies, link resolvers, digital collections and digital object repositories, information services for cell phones, iPods or PDAs, Internet and copyright law, plagiarism, electronic information access (e-reserves, document delivery, electronic theses of dissertations, home-grown databases), digital or virtual reference services, streaming video and audio, library web site innovations, management of electronic resources, IT/library mergers, Internet security, Googlization, etc.
Submissions should follow the Haworth guidelines for manuscript format and preparation available at http://www.haworthpress.com/journals/instructionsforauthors.asp. All submissions should be accompanied by a Manuscript Submission and Copyright Transfer form, available at http://www.haworthpressinc.com/pdfs/jmanuscript.pdf.
All accepted manuscripts will be published in the journal's next issue, Volume 11, No. 1. The due date for submission of manuscripts is August 1st, 2005. For more information or manuscript submission questions, please contact Christopher Cox at coxcn@uwec.edu or at the address below.
