Dear Colleagues:
We're pleased to announce the first issue of the open access Journal
of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication. Read below for more.
======================
For immediate release
May 16, 2012
Inaugural Issue of Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
Communication Released!
The inaugural issue of the Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly
Communication (JLSC) is now available (http://jlsc-pub.org/jlsc/),
featuring open access, peer-reviewed research, about library-led
scholarly communication initiatives, online publishing and digital
projects. Journal content is licensed under a Creative Commons
Attribution license. The journal is a not-for-profit endeavor,
published by Pacific University Library. In support of open and
equitable opportunities for authors, JLSC does not charge article
submission or publication fees.
âBecause libraries are actively working to shape the scholarly
communication sphere, there was a need for this important work to be
specifically represented in the literature. JLSC meets this need by
providing a dedicated âhomeâ for librarians to share their ideas
about institutional and digital repositories, open education
initiatives, library e-publishing services, authorsâ rights advocacy
efforts, data curation and other emerging issues,â says editor
Marisa Ramirez (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo).
JLSC is open to experimental formats and innovative alternatives to
the traditional publishing system.
âWe welcome original research and practitioner experience papers, as
well as submissions in alternative formats, like audio, video, code,
datasets and other formats. To the extent possible, we also hope to
use JLSC as a testbed to reflect emerging approaches in this field,
such as new forms of peer review and alternative metrics for
measuring impactâ says Isaac Gilman (Pacific University), editor.
âAs the roles of libraries and librarians continue to evolve, JLSC
will be the place to learn about developments in scholarly
communication,â adds Gilman.
Marisa Ramirez (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo) and Isaac Gilman (Pacific
University) co-edit the journal in collaboration with an editorial
board comprised of experienced and respected library practitioners.
Founding board members include Allyson Mower (University of Utah),
Amy Buckland (McGill University), Ann Lally (University of
Washington), Faye Chadwell (Oregon State University), JQ Johnson
(University of Oregon), Katherine Johnson (California Institute of
Technology), Lisa Schiff (California Digital Library), Michael Boock
(Oregon State University), Pamela Bluh (University of Maryland,
School of Law), Paul Royster (University of Nebraska), Rebecca
Kennison (Columbia University), Sarah Shreeves (University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Shawn Martin (University of
Pennsylvania), Susan Wells Parham (Georgia Institute of Technology),
Terry Owen (University of Maryland).
The inaugural issue is dedicated to the late Dr. Deborah Barreau
(University of North Carolina â Chapel Hill), founding board member.
The first issue is available online at http://jlsc-pub.org/jlsc/.
