The editorial team of the Journal of Library
Outreach and Engagement (JLOE) invites authors to submit articles for the
spring 2021 issue. To be considered for publication in the spring issue, please
submit your manuscript by February 1st. Please note that we do accept
submissions on a rolling basis and articles submitted after the recommended
deadline may be considered for publication in future issues.
Submissions should fall into one of three
categories: a) Research/Scholarly Article; b) Feature Article/Notes from the
Field; or c) Book Review. To submit a manuscript, please go to our website
[Information For Authors | Journal of Library Outreach and Engagement] and
follow the provided instructions for authors.
At JLOE, we define outreach as work done on
behalf of libraries, information organizations, cultural memory institutions,
and archives, using a wide variety of planned methods to facilitate library
use, encourage lifelong learning, or develop relationships with community
partners. Engagement consists of programs and activities that draw on our
professional expertise to enhance societal good, through local and global
collaborations with individuals, communities, and organizations.
Early career librarians or those new to
academic publishing may elect to submit a full-length article to our newly
formed Pre-Peer Review Program. The program pairs an author/authors with a
member of our Editorial Advisory board, enabling scholars to receive feedback
before they formally submit an article to the journal. Participation in the
program does not guarantee publication. Instead, the program helps to demystify
the academic publishing and review process.
To submit
a manuscript, please go to our website [Information For Authors |
Journal of Library Outreach and Engagement] and follow the provided instructions
for authors.
We encourage early submissions and will
communicate individually with each author about their manuscript’s progression
through the peer review process. Questions about the timeline and editorial
process may be directed to jloe-editors@illinois.edu.
