The Serials Librarian: call for papers

The Serials Librarian<http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wser20/current>, the journal for continuing print and electronic resources affiliated with NASIG<http://www.nasig.org/>, is currently seeking content for Volume 63 (2012) and Volume 65 (2013).

The Serials Librarian is an international journal covering all aspects of the management of serials and other continuing resources in any format – print, electronic, etc. – ranging from their publication, to their abstracting and indexing by commercial services, and their collection and processing by libraries.

The journal seeks scholarly articles on any and all aspects of continuing resources (acquisition, promotion, cataloging, development), specifically those dealing with projects relating to serials management from around the world, especially from Europe, Australasia, and Asia. Topics include, but need not be limited to:

 *   Case studies on how institutions and organizations monitor and manage collections

 *   The devising of big package deals for providing serial publication content

 *   The adaptation of libraries to the demands of e-resources

 *   Open access and the testing of RDA

Contributions from those in publishing giving a different perspective to that of the subscriber or end-user are welcome as well. Authors may also contribute materials to the journal’s columns which exist on a range of subjects.

 Please send all initial questions and ideas to the editors at: editorserialslib@gmail.com<mailto:editorserialslib@gmail.com>.

 For more information about The Serials Librarian, including complete submission instructions, please visit the journal’s webpage: www.tandfonline.com/WSER<http://www.tandfonline.com/WSER>.

 The Serials Librarian allows authors to post the peer-reviewed version of their article (although not the published .pdf) to their institutional or subject repository immediately following publication, so long as the original source of publication in the Journal is referenced, and a URL link is made to the Version of Record on Routledge’s website.
