Subject Content
College & Research Libraries includes articles in all fields of interest and concern to academic and research libraries. Well-written manuscripts on all aspects of academic and research librarianship will be considered. Manuscripts may include research studies, case studies, and descriptive narratives of successful and unsuccessful ventures, thoughtful discussions of issues in librarianship, and other suitable subjects.
The editor and the Editorial Board invite submissions relevant to the goals stated in the ACRL Strategic Plan, 2020 (C&RL News, September 2004).
Review of Manuscripts
College & Research Libraries is a refereed journal using double-blind reviewing. The editor peruses manuscripts and submits them to at least two reviewers. For this process, the cover sheet with authors?names and other identifying materials is blocked out or deleted.
Reviewers address themselves to the content and style of the manuscript. Main areas of consideration are:
-
Does the manuscript make a new contribution to the literature?
-
Is the method used appropriate to the subject?
-
Does the evidence presented support the hypothesis?
-
Does the author communicate clearly with an educated, yet not necessarily specialized, audience?
-
Does the literature review place the research or opinions in perspective?
This review process takes ten to twelve. After the decision has been made, the editor writes to the author accepting the manuscript, accepting it contingent on revisions, or rejecting it. Authors may not submit the manuscript to other publications while a C&RL review is in progress.
Publication
If accepted, manuscripts generally appear about six to ten months after completion of the review process. The editor may offer recommendations for changes when the article is accepted. Further editing may occur to tailor the article to C&RL’s style.
The agreement between ACRL and the author is license to publish. The author retains copyright and thus is free to post the article on an institutional or personal web page subsequent to publication in C&RL. All material in the journal may be photocopied for the noncommercial purpose of scientific or educational advancement.
In addition to the print version of College & Research Libraries, full-text articles are available electronically for ACRL Members on the College & Research Libraries?Web site at http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlpubs/crljournal/collegeresearch.htm (from 1999 to present) and to subscribers of Education Abstracts Full Text via WilsonWeb (from 1998 to present).
Letters
Readers who wish to comment on articles in the journal should address the letters to the editor. Letters should be succinct, no longer than 200 words. Letters will be published on a space-available basis.
