Since 1950, through 62 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 2012." 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 his 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
practices and pure
research papers are all welcome.
* Length: approx. 5,000-7,000 words
* Language: English
* Deadline: June 30, 2012
* Papers should have been written not earlier than January 1, 2011.
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
The article will be published in the 2012:4 issue and will be available
under open access on
