disseminate research by library and information practitioners and academics?
Closing date

The
Editorial Team of Library and Information Research (LIR) would like to recruit

-
prepared for publication online using ‘Open Journals Systems’ open access
publishing software.
Applications
are invited from people who will ideally be:
1.
Willing to embrace the full variety of Editorial duties, including:
-
reviewing submissions;
-
communicating with authors and reviewers about articles;

copy and layout editing;
-
publishing journal issues.
2.
From either a practitioner or an academic background, with an interest in the
role of research in the library and information world.

enhance your CV.
You

Membership
of the Editorial Team is a voluntary role, but reasonable expenses (e.g. travel
costs to attend meetings) are covered by LIRG.

to arrive by midnight at the end of Saturday 24 January 2015. Applications
