Subject: [IFLA-L] CFP: News, reflections and documents from LIS
teachers and researchers during the pandemic
To: ifla-l@iflalists.org
Call for news, reflections and documents
on teaching and research in LIS
during the Covid-19 pandemic and confinement
In light of the effects that the coronavirus pandemic is having on
higher education, the journal Education for Information:
Interdisciplinary Journal of Information Studies invites news and
reflections from our community. What changes are unfolding for
teaching and research in LIS? What is it like to be an LIS academic or
a student in a worldwide lockdown? How are our institutions
responding? What have we learned, or can we learn, about the nature of
information in a crisis situation? What is worth documenting today
that our descendants will be grateful to have in a century or two, or
longer?
We are calling for:
Contributions from students, researchers, teachers, administrators,
alumni, professors emeriti and others in the broad field of LIS
Personal accounts of teaching and conducting research during lockdown
Scholarly examinations of information flow, connection and
communication during crisis, including emergent phenomena such as
Zoomxhaustion
Images, text, or both
Submissions are welcome to tend toward the personal or toward the
scholarly, or combine elements of both. There is no page limit, but we
would expect submissions to be roughly 1–5 pages.
There is no deadline per se. (But hopefully the pandemic does not last
forever.) Submissions will undergo editorial review and be published
on an ongoing basis. They will be published open-access, with no
article processing charge.
Submissions may be sent to Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, at
gorichanaz@drexel.edu.
Warmly,
Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, Education for Information
Fidelia Ibekwe, Editor-in-Chief, Education for Information
