CFP: LLAMA journal Library Leadership & Management
Greetings LLAMA Members,
We wanted to let you know what was happening with the LLAMA journal Library Leadership & Management and why you will not be seeing a new issue announcement this month.
We are currently in the process of moving the journal to an Open Access platform for improved usability and future enhancements (no more having to remember a login). We are still tweaking the look but the archival issues are already in place and can be seen at the current url: https://journals.tdl.org/llm/issue/archive
Because we will no longer be using outside services for the journal, we have more freedom to set a publication schedule that better corresponds to LLAMA activities and planning/following up on events. The publication schedule is shifting to the following:
v. 25, no. 1, Winter February 2011 (post mid-winter meeting/pre-elections)
v. 25, no. 2, Spring May 2011 (pre-Annual Conference)
v. 25, no. 3, Summer August 2011 (post Annual Conference)
v. 25, no. 4, Fall, November 2011 (pre mid-winter meeting/post Executive Board fall meeting)
So watch for a new issue in February. We have a great set of articles that will look at topics such as preventative planning for an active shooter situation and applying return-on-investment modeling to libraries.
If you have manuscript ideas, we are open to them and offer both editor-reviewed and peer-reviewed options as well as the opportunity to publish multimedia content (like presentations, audio files, etc). Per the announcement in the previous issue, we are seeking a new columnist or section editor for a column featuring noteworthy or newsworthy books, websites, toolkits, or other skill building resources. Finally, if you are interested in being a part of the journal as a guest columnist, guest section editor, or serving on the LL&M Advisory Committee, let us know. Author submissions can also be done online through: https://journals.tdl.org/llm/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions. We are always looking for membership engagement.
