CFP: The Journal of Library Metadata
The Journal of Library Metadata marks the growing importance of metadata in libraries. As libraries collect, produce, distribute, and publish more information than ever before, the metadata that describes these resources becomes more crucial for electronic resource management and discovery.
Institutional repositories are one of the main forces promoting the creation of many different metadata schemes, specialized controlled vocabularies, and new initiatives for data sharing and harvesting. An increasingly popular type of search called “faceted searching” is also reliant on enriched metadata.
The journal features both a peer-review section for research articles, and a non-peer review section for more practical, case study and best practice type articles. Included amongst the charter issue:
“Dublin Core Metadata Harvested Through OAI-PMH”
“You Need My Metadata: Demonstrating the Value of Library Cataloging”
“Cataloging Images in Millennium: A Central Repository for Faculty-Owned Images”
“From Hanging Files to Digital Collection: Growing A Controlled Vocabulary for Added Functionality in the Online World”
“The Peloponnesian War and the Future of Reference, Cataloging, and Scholarship in Research Libraries.”
The Journal of Library Metadata welcomes the submission of papers for consideration. Librarians are encouraged to contact the journal’s editor, Jeffrey Beall, for “Instructions for Authors” and deadlines for upcoming issues at: Jeffrey.beall@cudenver.edu.

CFP: JOURNAL OF LIBRARY METADATA
The Journal of Library Metadata (JLM) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles on all aspects of metadata applications in libraries. The journal is published quarterly by The Haworth Press, Inc.
Previously titled the Journal of Internet Cataloging, after a change in title and editorship, JLM will now focus on metadata, an exciting, timely subject of importance to all libraries. The journal will publish three categories of articles: standard, peer-reviewed articles; shorter, scholarly, non-peer reviewed articles; and short viewpoint articles.
These articles will cover all aspects of metadata applications in libraries, including:
-Application profiles
-Best practices
-Controlled vocabularies
-Crosswalking of metadata and interoperability
-Digital libraries and metadata
-Display of search results
-Federated repositories
-Federated searching
-Folksonomies
-Individual metadata schemes
-Institutional repository metadata
-Metadata content standards
-Metadata harvesting
-Ontologies
-Preservation metadata
-Resource Description Framework
-Resource discovery and metadata
-Search engines and metadata
-SKOS
-Stochastic vs. deterministic searching
-Tagging and tag clouds
-Topic maps
-Visual image and moving image metadata
Categories of Articles
Please consider writing and submitting an article that falls into one of the following three categories:
• Peer-reviewed articles (original research, scholarly manuscripts), which should be 10-50 typed pages, double-spaced.
• Short, scholarly, non-peer-reviewed articles, often practical in nature (for example, describing a particular library metadata implementation). These should range from 500-2,000 words, with limited citations to other resources.
• Upbeat Viewpoint articles giving the author’s opinion on a timely topic related to library metadata applications. These should range from 500-2,000 words and may or may not contain citations. Focus should be on improvements or solutions instead of negative aspects of an existing system, standard, or service.
