Editorial Policy

Scope

While treatments related to all types of settings are welcome, a special emphasis is placed on the library domain and the role librarians play as facilitators of conversations.
Submissions might include:

  • Empirical articles analyzing user contributions to web resources
  • Thought pieces concerning the library as conversation
  • Podcasts of presentations concerning Library 2.0
  • Discussions of curricular initiatives to incorporate new web technologies into information education.

Review Process

All submissions will be reviewed by the editors of the journal and then, in keeping with the central tenets of participatory networks, made available for ongoing public review. Authors are encouraged to follow these conversations, and can incorporate these comments into revised drafts.

Unlike most journals, accepted pieces are published as they are accepted: encouraging timely discussions of current trends and events. Selected pieces will be edited into a volume exploring participatory librarianship.
