*Libri competition for **Best Student Paper Award 2015*
Since 1950, through 64 volumes, *Libri: International Journal of Libraries
and Information Services* (ISSN: 0024-2667) 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, *Libri* is issuing
a call for "Best Student Paper of 2015." This annual 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 this special award.
Students at all levels* are invited to submit 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. 5000 words
Language: English
Deadline: June 30, 2015
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 2015:4 issue. The author of the
winning article will be honoured with an award of 500.00 EURO and with a
complimentary subscription to Libri for 2016. If the quality of competition
warrants, some papers may be designated as honourable mention and the
authors will receive complementary subscriptions to Libri for 2016. The
normal provision to the author of e-prints applies to all winners.
Manuscripts should be submitted, preferably in MS Word or a compatible
format, to *http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/libri*

down menu "Manuscript Type".* Author instructions and further indications
of the scope of papers suitable for publication in *Libri* are available at
