Cabell's Directory online

The library now has remote access to Cabell’s Directory of Publishing Opportunities. Cabell’s provides information about publication guidelines for journals in various subject areas. This includes contact information, circulation information, percentage of invited articles, topic areas the journal emphasizes and type of readership, manuscript guidelines, type of review process, number of reviewers, time required for review, availability of reviewers' comments, and fees charged to review or publish the manuscript. In other words, information to help you select a journal to get your article published.

Changes to Haworth Press

Haworth Press. which publishes many journals in library science, was acquired by Taylor & Francis. According to Haworth, "One factor, in our view, was that in order to grow, Haworth needed a consistently creative internet platform that could compete successfully with other platforms of major houses. The stability of a prodigious international publishing house also adds an important dimension in regard to digital permanency."
