The New Review of Academic Librarianship,
a peer-reviewed journal, invites abstracts for consideration to be included in
a special themed issue on Special Collections in a Digital Age, covering
the broad topic of alternative, non-print special collections in modern
academic libraries. Abstracts (no more than 500 words) will be used to
establish the articles to be developed for publication in the journal.
Abstracts should be submitted for consideration to the Guest
Editors, Margaret Haines
and Wayne Jones,
no later than September 21, 2014.
Article submissions should focus on the changes in focus in both collections and services that have occurred as the special collections of academic libraries have adapted to the transition from mostly print to a mostly electronic world.
