CFP: Journal of Library and Information Service in Distance Learning

The Journal of Library and Information Service in Distance Learning, a peer-reviewed journal published by Taylor & Francis, welcomes the submission of manuscripts.  The journal is devoted to the issues and concerns of librarians and information specialists involved with distance education and delivering library resources and services to this growing community of students. Articles must be related to providing library services/information to distance learners/faculty. Topics can include but are not limited to:

• Faculty/librarian cooperation and collaboration
• Information literacy
• Instructional service techniques
• Information delivery
• Reference services
• Document delivery
• Developing collections
• 
  

If you are interested in submitting an article, this journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the “Guide for ScholarOne Authors” at http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/submission/ScholarOne.asp before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided at http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=journal&issn=1533-290X. WLIS receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their ScholarOne Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/WLIS. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. ScholarOne Manuscripts technical support can be accessed via http://scholarone.com/services/support/.

In addition, JLISDL has just been moved to the iFirst workflow, which will enable us to produce and publish papers online in advance of issues that are final in all respects except for pagination. Once an article is accepted for publications and all edits have been submitted, the articles will appear in a "Latest articles" list on the journal's webpage. They will be identical to the print edition in every way except that they will lack final pagination. Authors can still cite articles using their DOI number and year of publication. The “Latest articles” section can be found on JLISDL’s Taylor & Francis Online page on the left side menu. Once articles are selected for issues, the final version that publishes (with page numbers) will replace this iFirst version, and the article will appear in the issue with all other contents of that issue.

Contributions should not be published elsewhere.

Inquiries and questions are welcome and can be sent directly to the editor, Jodi Poe, at jpoe@jsu.edu.
