Dear colleagues, Volume 21 of Judaica Librarianship will be published in November or December of this year. I apologize for the long wait, but during my sabbatical I could not dedicate much time to the journal. In the meantime, Volume 20<https://ajlpublishing.org/jl/vol20/iss1/> became freely available which is reflected in the high number of article downloads. All back issues uploaded to the journal site at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl are now open access and JL articles have been downloaded (and hopefully read, too!) almost 35,000 times. That’s a good way to get the word out about AJL.
Call for Papers, Volume 22 This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Wissenschaft des Judentums movement, or the birth of Jewish Studies as an academic discipline. For the 22nd issue of Judaica Librarianship, the editorial board invites you to submit papers on the contribution of libraries and archives, as well as individual librarians and archivists or librarian–scholar collaborations, to the scholarly field of Jewish Studies. Papers could focus on collection building, in particular collections that contributed to the formation and development of Jewish studies; description of, and discovery systems for library and archival objects, including library catalogs, library guides, archival finding aids, or metadata creation for digitized collections; bibliographies or other reference tools; reference, research, and instruction services, including online tutorials; and library outreach efforts, including interaction with scholars and students on social media. Other papers that meet the journal’s scope are welcome as well. For JL’s submission guidelines and policies, see the journal homepage at https://ajlpublishing.org/jl/; or contact the editor for any questions. The deadline is January 31, 2020.
