Call for Papers "Library Trends" - The Joy of Information

This sounds like an interesting call for papers for the John Hopkins University Press  peer-reviewed journal "Library Trends." Perhaps joy isn't something we talk and write about enough in the library world?

A special issue of Library Trends will  feature writings that explore the relationship between information and joy. In the spirit of a positive information science (Kari & Hartel, 2007), the forthcoming collection brings together bright and uplifting views of information to contrast with critical or problem-oriented perspectives that color our literature in grayscale.

Guest Editors:
Jenna Hartel Associate Professor, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto
Hailey Siracky, Director of Library Services, St. Joseph’s College, University of Alberta, 

Submissions due on 1 August - full papers, no more than 7,000 words
