CFP: Library Freedom Journal
Gruzynski, Vicki
Library Freedom Project (LFP) is excited to request proposals for Library Freedom Journal (LFJ)!
LFJ is the society journal published by LFP, a network of values-driven librarians working together to build information democracy. We publish works that focus on issues like privacy, intellectual freedom, and information democracy and that represent the core values of LFP.
This issue will focus on a special topic: Cultivating Hope. As library values continue to be threatened and our most vulnerable patrons are targeted, how are you building and nurturing your communities? Submissions do not necessarily need to adhere to this topic, but are welcome to explore it in any capacity.
LFJ is a Diamond Open Access Journal. It is free of charge for all readers. There are no article processing fees or other charges to authors who publish in this journal.
This call is open to everyone. You do not need to be a member of LFP to write for us, although all editors and members of the editorial board are part of the extended LFP community. Information about joining this community of practice is available on our website.
We seek submissions (either abstracts or complete drafts) for the following sections, and employ an open peer review process:
Articles: Our articles section will publish articles between 2000-5000 words. (Peer-reviewed)
LFP in Practice: This section centers practical and effective methods for deploying LFP principles and theory. (Peer-reviewed)
Reviews: Reviews can focus on a range of media, including but not limited to books, essays, zines, film, and comics. (Not peer-reviewed)
Opinion/Hot Takes: This section features content emphasizing editorial-style opinions and discussions of emerging topics. (Not peer-reviewed)
Art & Zines: This section includes creative contributions, including artistic work (visual art, zines, creative writing, photography, etc) and anything that expands the limits of standard scholarly journals. (Not peer-reviewed)
This call for submissions will be open until July 31. All submissions will be managed and reviewed in a timely fashion through OJS. Requirements for submission can be found on LFJ’s website.
