Dear Colleagues,

 The Journal of Library and Information Science (JLIS) is inviting
submission of papers.  The JLIS is a peer reviewed journal published
semiannually in April and October by the Department of Adult & Continuing
Education, National Taiwan Normal University in Taiwan and the Chinese
American Librarians Association (CALA) in the U.S.A.  Since its first
publication in 1975, the JLIS has provided an outlet for scholars around
world to contribute knowledge through their ongoing research and to thrive
through their intellectual pursuits.

The JLIS invites both Chinese and English manuscripts of original research
in all subjects pertaining to library and information science. It also
invites reviews of monographs, books, and reports about library and
information science. Manuscripts in English should be submitted via email
attachment to Min Chou at minchou.n...@gmail.com).  Manuscripts in Chinese
should be submitted to Dr. Ming-Hsin Chiu at phoebec...@ntnu.edu.tw.
 Reviews of books, monographs, and reports should be submitted to Dr.
Mengxiong Liu at mengxiong....@sjsu.edu.

For publication in the April issue, it is preferred that you submit your
manuscript by December 30; for the October issue, please submit by June 30.
We strongly encourage authors to submit before the deadlines to ensure
sufficient time for full review process and necessary revisions, as some
papers may go through two rounds of review and revision.  Submission
guidelines are provided below and also available at the website
http://www.cala-web.org/node/165.

manuscript is original and not under consideration by any other journal or

manuscripts must be typed in MS Word and submitted either as email
attachments.  Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words in length, not

separate word document, and should include the name of author, institutional
affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. Articles
presented at a conference must include the name, place, and date of the
conference. The body of a manuscript must be preceded by a 100-150-word
abstract and 3-8 keywords, and followed by references and bibliographies.
Each illustration or table should be numbered and have a brief caption. JLIS
follows the Manual of the American Psychological Association for reference
and bibliography style. Consult recent issues of JLIS as a guide to format.

JLIS is accessible online at http://www.cala-web.org/node/165. Authors will
receive one printed copy of their articles. Additional copies can be
purchased at a nominal cost from Showwei Information Technology Ltd.
