Since 1950, through 63 volumes, Libri: International
Journal of Libraries and Information Services 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 and to encourage new writers, Libri is
issuing a call for “Best Student Paper of 2014.” This 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 single
authored 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 practice, and pure research
papers are all welcome.
• Deadline: June 30, 2014
• Papers should have been written not earlier than January 1, 2013.
The article will be published in the 2014:4 issue. The
author of the winning article will be honoured with an award of 500.00 EUR and
with a complimentary subscription to Libri for 2015. If the quality of
competition warrants some papers may be designated as honourable mention and
the authors will receive complementary subscriptions to Libri for 2015. The
normal provision to the author of e-prints and one complete issue applies to
all winners. The winning paper is usually made available on open access on the
De Gruyter web site.
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
All submissions should include a cover sheet confirming:
–– the name of the institution where the student is or was enrolled –– the dates when the student is or was enrolled –– the date when the paper was written, and the course for which it was prepared if no longer a student
