The Journal of Library Services for Distance Education
(http://www.westga.edu/library/jlsde/), a peer-reviewed e-journal, is
currently seeking manuscripts for its second issue (anticipated
publication date March 1998). 

International in scope, this scholarly e-journal publishes refereed
articles focusing on the issues and challenges of providing
research/information services to students enrolled in formal
post-secondary distance education.  It particularly strives to meet the
continuing education needs of practitioners by providing a forum for the
discussion of extended learning policies and practices, and trends in
information technology as they impact the delivery of library services
for distance learners and faculty.  Articles may be philosophical and/or
quantitative analyses of off-campus library issues, and may take the
form of case studies, research studies, or general interest reports. 
Sample topics: role/history of library services to distance education,
standards for such services, organization/planning of new services,
library instruction for remote users, document delivery, inter-library
cooperation, providing/creating access to bibliographic and other
library resources, costs of such services, research on remote users'
information-seeking behaviors, etc.  Book reviews, conference reports,
literature reviews, news items, URLs for homepages of off-campus library
services worldwide, announcements of conferences and publications, and
letters to the editor are also invited. 

Original manuscripts will be accepted by email or on IBM-compatible 3.5
HD diskette (WordPerfect preferred), and must not have already been
published or submitted elsewhere.  Receipt of all manuscripts will be
acknowledged.  You may contact the editor at the address below if you
wish to discuss the suitability of your proposed writing project prior
to actual submission.  Articles will be evaluated using a
blind-reviewing process.  Authors are responsible for obtaining
permission from the copyright owner to use any material from another
source.  Authors will retain copyright.  Citations in bibliographies
must be formatted according to the most recent edition of the Chicago
Manual of Style.  Although manuscripts may be submitted at any time, the
deadline for receipt of articles to be considered for the next issue is
December 15, 1997.  Suggested length: no less than 2,000 words nor more
than 4,500 (these are only guidelines, however, as the content should
dictate the length).
