Hello, Everyone!

I'd like to revive our LPP Editorial Board blog with two very interesting things to discuss. Dariush Alimohammadi wrote to me this week to suggest that LPP reach out to LIS schools outside North America to recruit faculty there as peer reviewers and authors. Here is Dariush's suggestion:

Also, we think that some type of scientific collaboration should be established between the LPP editorial board and LIS Departments/Schools all over the world. Through sending regular emails, LPP should try to encourage LIS and other adjunct faculties to submit their new writings and to be ready for reviewing as a volunteer.

Gail and I are very enthusiastic about this idea and would like to hear the Board's thoughts and reactions. I would also like to have suggestions about where to start in compiling a list of LIS Schools, i.e., which region or country, which schools are largest or most active, etc.

I am using Google Reader to subscribe to an RSS feed for this blog, so I will easily know when someone has posted.

I will post Dariush's second proposal in a separate message.
