Sorry for the illegible email. Let's try this again:
Code4Lib Journal: Call for Submissions
Consider submitting proposals for articles, book & software reviews,
code snippets & algorithms, conference reports, opinion pieces, etc. to
Code4Lib Journal.
Code4Lib Journal strives to fill a communication niche above simple
description of software implementations but below pure theoretical
digital library investigation. The editorial board is looking for
content that is practical, demonstrates how to exploit technology to
create digital library collections and services, or offers insight and
forethought regarding the use of computers in any type of library
setting. While articles in the journal should be of a high quality, they
need not follow any formal structure or guidelines. Writers should aim
for the middle ground between, on the one hand, blog or mailing-list
posts, and, on the other hand, articles in traditional journals. We want
publishing in the journal to be easy and painless, helping the community
to share timely, relevant information that is currently shared all too
rarely.
The first issue of the Code4Lib Journal was published in December 2007
and is available at http://journal.code4lib.org/issues/issue1. The
second issue of Code4Lib Journal is well underway and set for
publication in March. The third issue is not quite full. The Journal
welcomes submissions at any time on a rolling acceptance basis.
Proposals received by Friday, March 14, 2008 will receive consideration
for publication in late June 2008. Upon provisional acceptance, authors
will be given an article deadline, typically 6-8 weeks before journal
publication.
Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.
Submission of articles proposals and articles should be submitted
electronically to c4lj-articles_at_googlegroups.com
<mailto:c4lj-articles_at_googlegroups.com> (a private list read only by
C4LJ editors) in a format likely to be widely readable. The article
should be accompanied by some brief author metadata and, if appropriate,
disclosure statement (see below). We have no more precise specs at this
time, but may develop some at a later date, and reserve the right to ask
for submission in a different format if we have trouble with yours.
Authors are welcome to contact the Editorial Committee
(http://journal.code4lib.org/editorial-committee) with a proposal,
rather than a complete article.

(http://journal.code4lib.org/article-guidelines/) and the Journal's
