Attention New Librarians: Call for Papers for New Voices 2022
Sponsored by the University and College Library Section of the Southeastern Library Association (SELA) and EBsCO
The winner will be awarded $200 and invited to present their paper as a poster session (either virtually or in person) at the 2022 SELA joint conference with the Mississippi Library Association. The convention is scheduled for October 11-14 at the Riley Center.
Submissions must be:
1. Written by a new professional librarian with no more than five years of experience
2. Address an idea or perspective on current library issue
Since the work will be published in The Southeastern Librarian (SELn), some of the journal’s relevant publication guidelines are below. The complete guidelines can be found at http://www.selaonline.org/sela/publications/SEln/guidelines.html
Guidelines for Submissions and Author Instructions
1. Articles need not be of a scholarly nature but should address professional concerns of the library community. SELn particularly seeks articles that have a broad southeastern scope and/or address topics identified as timely or important by SELA sections, round tables, or committees.
2. Manuscripts must be submitted in electronic format as attachment to an e-mail, preferably in MS Word or compatible format. Articles should be written in a grammatically correct, simple, readable style. The author is responsible for the accuracy of all statements in the article and should provide complete and accurate bibliographic citations. Although longer or shorter works may be considered, 2,000- to 5,000-word manuscripts are most suitable.
3. Notes should appear at the end of the manuscript in a section titled "References." The editor will refer to the latest edition of APA for capitalization, punctuation, quotations, tables, captions, and elements of bibliographic style.
4. The name, position, and professional address of the author should appear in the bottom left-hand corner of a separate title page. The author's name should not appear anywhere else in the document.
5. Photographs will be accepted for consideration but cannot be returned. Digital images are preferred.
6. No other publisher should be simultaneously considering a manuscript submitted to SELn until that manuscript is returned or the editor provides written permission.
7. If the manuscript includes analyses of survey results, please acknowledge approval by the appropriate Institutional Review Board either through direct reference in the manuscript or acknowledgement as part of the manuscript submission.
8. Beginning with Vol. 51, #3 (2003), The Southeastern Librarian has entered into an agreement to license electronic publishing rights to H. W. Wilson Company. Authors agree to assign copyright of manuscripts to The Southeastern Library Association, subject to certain limited licenses granted back to the author.
The monetary award for New Voices is sponsored by EBSCO.
Important Date: Please submit papers for consideration by July 29, 2022 to Rebecca Rose ([log in to unmask]), Chair of the University and College Library Section of the Southeastern Library Association (SELA).
