CFP: Libraries: Culture, History, and Society
Libraries: Culture, History, and Society is now accepting submissions for
our second issue, to be published in Fall 2017. A semiannual peer-reviewed
publication from the Library History Round Table of the American Library
Association and the Penn State University Press, LCHS will be available in
print and online via JSTOR and Project Muse.
The only journal in the United States devoted to library history, LCHS
positions library history as its own field of scholarship, while promoting
innovative cross-disciplinary research on libraries’ relationships with
their unique environments. LCHS brings together scholars from many
disciplines to examine the history of libraries as institutions,
collections, and services, as well as the experiences of library workers
and users. There are no limits of time and space, and libraries of every
type are included (private, public, corporate, and academic libraries, and
special collections). In addition to Library Science, the journal welcomes
contributors from History, English, Literary Studies, Sociology, Education,
Gender/Women’s Studies, Race/Ethnic Studies, Philosophy, Political Science,
Architecture, Anthropology, Geography, Economics, and other disciplines.
Submissions for volume 1, issue 2, are due February 24, 2017. Manuscripts
must be submitted electronically through LCHS’s Editorial Manager system at
http://www.editorialmanager.com/LCHS/default.aspx. They must also conform
to the instructions for authors at
http://bit.ly/LCHScfp1. New scholars,
and authors whose work is in the "idea" stage, are welcomed to contact the
editors if they would like guidance prior to submission.
We are excited to see this journal become a reality. We welcome your
thoughts as we establish a platform for studying libraries within their
broader humanistic and social contexts.
