LPP Special Issue, Winter 2007

The deadline for submitting papers to the special Winter 2007 "Shape Shifters" issue of LPP was October 20, and the guest editors, Jill Cirasella and Mariana Regalado of Brooklyn College, City University of New York, now have 14 articles that will be sent for peer review. The articles cover a wide range of topics and will make for an interesting issue. The guest editors are currently working with most of the authors on revisions, and plan to send the papers for peer review in late November.

Some Suggestions for LPP Chief Editors

1. Our new publication pattern of adding articles as and when they are accepted has to be reconsidered. A "journal" means it should have a publication period, otherwise it will be an online archive. My suggestion is that we should have 2 or more issues per year.

2. We should request LISA and leading A&I services to cover LPP. Now we have only ISA.

Thanks,

Vijayakumar

Mary Bolin Introduction (now someone else please introduce themselves so I don't feel lonely)


This blog is a place for Library Philosophy and Practice editors and editorial board members to exchange ideas and information.


Please tell us something about yourself, and post a photo of yourself if you like.

I'm the Chair of Technical Services at the University of Nebraska--Lincoln Libraries in Lincoln, Nebraska. Nebraska is my home. My mother and my three brothers also live here in Lincoln. I returned here three years ago after spending 17 years at the University of Idaho, which is a wonderful place. I'm happy to be back in Nebraska, but I still miss Idaho. My husband is a reference librarian at UNL. We have three kids: Charlie is 22, and lives in Bozeman, Montana, where he is working and pursuing landscape photography. Alice is 18 and a junior at UNL. Tom is 14 and a freshman in high school.

I'm writing my dissertation this year, in Educational Administration and Higher Education. My topic is a typology of librarian status at US public universities and a discourse analysis of librarian appointment documents. My research interests include discourse analysis, organizational communication, and the programmatic nature of academic libraries.
