*Libri competition for **Best Student Paper Award 2015*
Since 1950, through 64 volumes, /Libri: International Journal of 
Libraries and Information Services/ (ISSN: 0024-2667) has been a leader 
among scholarly journals in the international library world. As part of 
its strategy to remain one of the premier library journals, /Libri/ is 
issuing a call for "Best Student Paper of 2015." This annual competition 
supports /Libri/'s goal of publishing the best articles from the next 
generation of library and information science professionals. We are 
proud once again to recognize the very best article with this special award.
Students at all levels* are invited to submit articles with clarity and 
authority. There is no stated theme. Research papers should address one 
of the significant issues facing today's librarians and information 
professionals. Case studies, best practices, and pure research papers 
are all welcome.
         Length: approx. 5000 words
         Language: English
         Deadline: June 30, 2015
The best paper will be selected by an independent panel consisting of 
selected members of the Editorial Board, the Advisory Board and other 
international experts. Submissions will be judged on the basis of
         - originality of thought and observation
         - depth of research and scholarship
         - topicality of problems addressed
         - the international readership of the journal
The article will be published in the 2015:4 issue. The author of the 
winning article will be honoured with an award of 500.00 € and with a 
complimentary subscription to Libri for 2016. If the quality of 
competition warrants, some papers may be designated as honourable 
mention and the authors will receive complementary subscriptions to 
Libri for 2016. The normal provision to the author of e-prints applies 
to all winners.
Manuscripts should be submitted, preferably in MS Word or a compatible 
format, to _http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/libri_. *When submitting a
