Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting): Do you want to expand on your Code4Lib conference presentation in written form? Did the recent Code4Lib conference give you ideas or renewed enthusiasm for a ?project that you would like to share with the Code4Lib Community. Why not submit a proposal to the Code4Lib journal? The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share information among those interested in the intersection of libraries, technology, and the future.
The Code4Lib Journal is now accepting proposals for publication in its 10th issue. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. To be included in the 10th issue, which is scheduled for publication in late June 2010, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to c4lj-articles at googlegroups.com by Friday, March 20, 2010. When submitting, please include the title or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message. C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: ?* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and hypothetical) ?* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including how they were done and challenges faced ?* Case studies ?* Best practices ?* Reviews ?* Comparisons of third party software or libraries ?* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology ?* Project management and communication within the library environment ?* Assessment and user studies C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality, they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code.
