Public Services Quarterly

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Public Services Quarterly is currently soliciting manuscripts to be considered for upcoming issues. The journal's goal is to keep academic librarians in a variety of public service roles up to date with developments in the field. Public Services Quarterly covers the areas of reference and research assistance, information literacy and instruction, and access and delivery services, and examines creative ways to use technology to provide your students and faculty with the support they need. Combining research findings and case studies with authoritative articles, the journal tracks the changing patterns in organizational and managerial structures to present new initiatives for expanding and improving library services. Each issue includes a number of columns filled with practical ideas and important resources. The columns are Technology, Marketing, Best of the Literature, Professional Reading, Future Voices in Public Services, Internet Resources, and Special Libraries, Special Challenges. More details about the journal can be found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/WPSQ

 

I hope that you will consider PSQ when you are writing an article related to public services in academic libraries. Submissions to PSQ are peer-reviewed, and instructions for authors are available through a link on the PSQ page.  Please don't hesitate to contact the editor if you have questions.  Initial queries about an article topic are welcome. Please note that the article, when completed, is still subject to a complete editorial review.  Please include a cover page listing only the article title, as well as a second title page with the full information that is specified on the Instructions for Authors web page (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1522-8959&linktype=44).
