The October/November/December (v. 4) 2014 issue of Virginia Libraries will focus on the idea of ?openness? and how twenty-first century libraries can engage with and promote this idea.  Submissions should be around 3,000 words in length and may represent original research, case studies, essays, or literature reviews on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

Articles will be peer reviewed and accepted articles will be edited before publication.

The journal issue will be published in Fall 2014.   Full manuscript drafts will be accepted until June 1, 2014.  Authors will be notified about their submissions by July 1, 2014, and final drafts of accepted articles will be due to issue editors by August 15, 2014

Additional information about Virginia Libraries and author guidelines are available:  http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/VALib/. Virginia Libraries is an open access journal, and is indexed in Library, Information Science, & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Library Literature & Information Science Full Text, and Library & Information Science Source.
