Journal of Web Librarianship

Looking to spiff up the old resume? Want to start to reviewing books? A good place to start might be Journal of Web Librarianship http://www.lib.jmu.edu/org/jwl/

The Journal of Web Librarianship looks to:

The Journal of Web Librarianship publishes material related to all aspects of librarianship as practiced on the World Wide Web, including both existing and emerging roles and activities of information professionals in the Web environment. The Journal of Web Librarianship strives to find a balance between original, scholarly research, and practical communications about relevant topics in web librarianship.

Examples of topics appropriate for the Journal of Web Librarianship include but are not limited to: web page design, usability testing of library or library-related sites, cataloging or classification of Web information, international issues in web librarianship, scholars’ use of the web, information architecture, library departmental web pages, RSS feeds, podcasting, library services via the web, search engines, history of libraries and the web, and future aspects of web librarianship.

And….

The Review Editor strongly encourages individuals who are relatively new to the profession (e.g., recent MLIS/MLS graduates, current students) to volunteer as reviewers.
