  • 1.  CFP for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship

    Posted Oct 20, 2022 11:37 AM
    With apologies for cross posting, I'm forwarding the CFP for a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship focusing on teaching in academic libraries.

    Call for proposals

    The Canadian Journal of Academic Librarianship (CJAL) invites submissions to our special issue on The place of teaching academic librarians' work. CJAL is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL).

    Authors interested in participating are asked to submit a proposal (maximum 800 words plus bibliography) as an email attachment (Word document or PDF) to can.j.acad.lib@gmail.com by December 20, 2021. 

    We welcome a wide variety of article types and methodologies, both traditional and non-traditional. These may include empirical studies and theoretical works. We encourage authors to draw on their personal experiences (e.g., program descriptions; autoethnography), but these should be contextualized in the broader environment and literature. Articles submitted for review must fit the journal's Focus and Scope. The journal is bilingual (English/French); proposals may be submitted in either language. For more guidance, please see the journal's Focus and Scope.

    Deadline for proposal submission: Dec. 20, 2022

    Notification of proposal acceptance: Jan. 30, 2023

    Deadline for article submission: April 17, 2023

    Anticipated special issue publication: December, 2023
