First Call for Papers for Library Trends 63(1) issue on Philosophy of
Information

GUEST EDITOR
Ken Herold would like to invite you to submit a manuscript proposal
by October 31, 2012, under the extended timetable below.

CALL
A reprise volume of the Winter 2004 issue of Library Trends (Volume
52, No. 3, 373-670) is called for Summer 2014, for papers in the
philosophy of information as a continuing study of philosophical
themes in information studies.  For a scholarly review of philosophy
and information studies generally through recent years, consult
Furner’s chapter 4 in Annual Review of Information Science and
Technology, Vol. 44, 2010, pp. 161-200, edited by Cronin.  The
seminal works of Luciano Floridi and Brian Cantwell Smith may serve
as points of departure, as well may the contributions from the 2004
volume itself.  The call specifies original scholarship and central to all
proposals must be the philosophical inquiry of core principles of
librarianship and information studies, as broadly as that domain may be
interpreted.  Authors should strive to meet a 20-30 page limit
(5,000-10,000 words).

PROPOSALS
Submit proposals of no more than 300 words.  Decisions will be communicated
to contributors by November 30, 2012.
