Sustainability Round Table Members Community

Hello all,

I wrote a paper in grad school on the work (often unseen) that public libraries do to advance the conversation around sustainability and climate change in their communities. I'm turning the research paper into what I hope will eventually be a publishable article. Does anyone have any suggestions on which journals I should look at to submit my 'finished' product?  

Thank you!

Michelle --  excited to read you article when it comes out!     Not sure I have a specific journal but this article if you haven't read it (you probably have!) has a lot of good references, I might look at those publications since they published articles on similar topic they might welcome more and be a good choice??   

Fedorowicz-Kruszewska, M. (2021). Green libraries and green librarianship – Towards conceptualization. Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 53(4), 645–654. https://doi-org.oregonstate.idm.oclc.org/10.1177/0961000620980830

Question -- are you hoping to reach library staff for this article audience OR outside of libraries to show others how public libraries are climate change makers?    that might also help lead you to the right fit for journal. 

Maybe  offer to  present a webinar on your research study too?  SustainRT (and IFLA's  ENSULIB) host a lot of webinars...

hope this helps a bit! beth

Hi Michelle,

As Beth mentioned, it depends on who the audience are for the paper. If it is for librarians another recommendation is to reach out to Library Journal. 

Best,

Colleen
