Draft Call-for-Papers for issue #20

[Peter Murray]

In keeping with the quarterly publication schedule [0], the call-for-papers for the issue #20 is scheduled to go out on Monday.  This puts us on track to publish this issue on April 15, 2013.  Depending on the number of proposals received over the festive holiday season, a reminder C-f-P might be sent out on January 7th.  The text of the proposed C-f-P follows the e-mail template closely [1]:

Call for Papers (and apologies for cross-posting):

The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
technology, and the future.

We are now accepting proposals for publication in our <nth> issue.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.
To be included in the 20th issue, which is scheduled for publication
in mid April 2013, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to jou...@code4lib.org 
by Friday, January 18, 2013.  When submitting, please include the title  
or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
of the journal.  Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Practical applications of library technology (both actual and 
  hypothetical)
* Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including 
  how they were done and challenges faced
* Case studies
* Best practices
* Reviews
* Comparisons of third party software or libraries
* Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
* Project management and communication within the library environment
* Assessment and user studies

C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
barriers to publication.  While articles should be of a high quality,
they need not follow any formal structure.  Writers should aim for the
middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
journals.  Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code.  For more information, visit
C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 18 issues
published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.

Remember, for consideration for the 20th issue, please send proposals,
abstracts, or draft articles to jou...@code4lib.org no later than 
Friday, January 18, 2013.

Send in a submission.  Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.


Code4Lib Journal Editorial Committee

If there are any changes or suggestions, please post them by the end of the day on Monday.  If there is no discussion, the C-f-P will go out late Monday.

Peter Murray, Code4Lib Journal CE#20
