Call for papers
Submissions
are being accepted on an ongoing basis for upcoming issues of OALIS (http://www.oalisjournal.com)
OALIS (Open
Access Library & Information Studies) is an open access peer-reviewed
journal covering all aspects of library and information management. The journal
is published twice per year and welcomes research articles, as well as case
studies and practice reports. The name OALIS is an oronym for eolas, the
Irish word for information. Manuscripts of specific relevance to the Irish LIS community are encouraged, however articles with a more global focus are also welcome. OALIS aims to promote the use and reporting of research by practitioners, and to communicate research developments and activity in Ireland and the UK. We also hope to provide an outlet for new or emerging researchers to share their work, through our case studies and practice reports.
Research articles should be between 3,000 and 8,000 words, excluding references. Case studies and practice reports should be between 1,500 and 5,000 words. Full details of the electronic submission process, author guidelines and the OALIS style template are available on our website.
