I am pleased to be guest editor on a themed issue of the Taylor & Francis peer-reviewed journal New Review of Academic Librarianship. The theme is "Librarians as Communicators"
Articles are typically about 5,000 words. While they can draw on practice, this is a scholarly journal and articles must have a solid research foundation. Please read an issue of the journal to get a flavour of the types of articles published.
Closing date for abstracts (no more than 500 words) is 19th June 2015.
If you have a topic that doesn't fit this call but might still be of interest to the journal do contact me, as I am on the journal editorial board and it may fit in a different issue. There are two issues a year.
