Call for Papers - Fresh Perspectives Column, Kentucky Libraries
Library school students (any school), library staff, and new or non-published librarians:
- Do you have a library school paper you are particularly proud of?
- Do you have an idea for a paper, but you would like some suggestions on how to make it ready for submission?
- Are you new to the field and would like to begin publishing?
- Are you a staff member who has an idea for a paper reflecting your work or your library?
We encourage you to submit your papers for inclusion in Kentucky Libraries, the peer-reviewed journal of the Kentucky Library Association (KLA). Your papers can either be written in library school or as an original work, and you do not need to be a member of KLA.
Advantages:
- Get your first paper published in a professional journal
- Be guided through the peer-review process
- Be introduced to a professional mentor (for KLA members)
- Get your ideas out!
The process:
- Submit your paper to Claudene Sproles, claudene.sproles@louisville.edu. She will give you feedback on how to make your paper ready for publication.
- When your paper is ready for official submission, it will be sent through the normal peer-review process with Kentucky Libraries.
- Once it passes peer-review, it will be published in the Kentucky Libraries column, “Fresh Perspectives.”
- If you wish, you will also be put in contact with a professional mentor in KLA (for KLA members).
Kentucky Libraries is available via Library Literature & Information Science Full Text.
If you would like to submit a paper for consideration in Fresh Perspectives, please email your submission to Claudene Sproles caspro01@louisville.edu.
We look forward to your submissions! ~Kentucky Libraries Editorial Board
