Submit original, amera-ready art for illustrations, figures, and graphs. Well-written manuscripts on all aspects of academic and research librarianship will be considered. Manuscripts may include research studies, case studies, descriptive narratives of successful and unsuccessful ventures, thoughtful discussions of issues in librarianship, and other suitable subjects. The editor peruses manuscripts and submits them to at least two reviewers. For this process, the cover sheet with authors names and other identifying materials is blocked out or deleted.
Reviewers address themselves to the content and style of the manuscript.
This review process takes eight to ten weeks. After the decision has been made, the editor writes to the author accepting the manuscript, accepting it contingent on revisions, or rejecting it. If accepted, manuscripts generally appear about ten months after completion of the review process. The editor may offer recommendations for changes when the article is accepted. Subsequent inquiries for reprinting articles should be referred to ALA s Office of Rights and Permissions.
