Journal of Education for Library and Information Science

Call for Papers

The _Journal of Education for Library and Information Science_ (JELIS) seeks
high-quality papers reporting research related to education and training for
the information professions. JELIS is a quarterly scholarly publication of the
Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE). The ALISE
Special Interest Groups (http://www.alise.org/about/sigs.html) and LIS Research
Areas Classification Scheme (http://www.alise.org/research_class_guide.html)
suggest the broad scope of education-related topics of interest to JELIS
readers.

Manuscripts reporting research using rigorous quantitative and/or qualitative
methods are welcomed. A case study of a single institution, course, or project
should draw on a wide variety of sources and analytic techniques to distinguish
the work as a research article. JELIS welcomes purely theoretical and conceptual
works as well as articles reporting original and empirical research. Manuscripts
may offer theoretical insights developed from the author's synthesis and
reassessment of a body of published research. A manuscript may critically
reconsider the empirically based consensus about a phenomenon by contrasting it
to the consensus that has emerged in a related but different discipline or area.
 An article may provide a reasoned argument that draws on the work of
philosophers, economists, organizational theorists, educational psychologists,
linguists, systems theorists, literary critics, sociologists, historians,
computer and information scientists, communication theorists, and all others
whose research may be related to LIS education broadly construed.

JELIS uses the double-blind refereeing method of peer evaluation. Authors are
encouraged to look at the Manuscript Evaluation Form
(http://www.alise.org/publications/alise_manuscript_eval_form_2005.pdf) that
referees use when evaluating a submission to JELIS.  Instructions for preparing
and sending manuscripts are in the JELIS Submission Guidelines
(http://www.alise.org/publications/jelis_submission_guidelines.html).
