Subject: [Web4lib] Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Journal of
the Medical Library Association on Applying Technologies in Medical
Libraries
To: "web4lib@webjunction.org" <web4lib@webjunction.org>
Using technology to improve access to information has long been
integral to medical and health sciences libraries. However, today's
environment of rapidly changing software and hardware, social
networking tools, and increasingly tiny and mobile devices presents
special challenges for health sciences libraries. To help readers to
better understand and manage this environment, the Journal of the
Medical Library Association (JMLA) is planning to devote an upcoming
issue to papers that help in understanding how health sciences
libraries can use technologies to improve delivery of, and access to,
medical and health sciences information.
JMLA particularly welcomes submission of case studies that describe
how a particular institution used technology to solve a common problem
confronting our libraries, as well as research papers that use
quantitative or qualitative methodologies to evaluate the use of
technology in health sciences libraries, and state-of-the-art reviews
that look at some aspect of this issue. Papers should follow the
guidelines on JMLA's Information for Authors website at
www.mlanet.org/publications/jmla/jmlainfo.html. ln addition to
describing the application used, case studies should include a
discussion of alternatives considered, data that supports an
evaluation of the projects' success in meeting stated goals, and a
section on "lessons learned" that will aid other libraries who may be
considering a similar application.
To appear in this issue, scheduled for January 2012, papers should be
received no later than May 10, 2011. If you would like to discuss an
idea for a paper, please contact Susan Starr, Editor, JMLA at
jmlaeditorbox@gmail.com.

"In order to be really good as a librarian, everything counts towards
your work, every play you go see, every concert you hear, every trip
you take, everything you read, everything you know. I don't know of
another occupation like that. The more you know, the better you're
going to be."
