Call for Papers: Code4Lib Journal


Code4Lib Journal will publish a special issue on diversity within library tech in April 2015. They are considering "perspectives and topics that may not have been considered in-depth in the past, in the spirit of being open to diverse uses, interpretations, and needs of technology. In the context of structural inequalities and group/individual experiences (e.g. based on country, gender, race, ethnicity, class, disability, age, sexual orientation, etc.) people perceive, experience, and create technologies in different ways. It will strengthen our libraries if we enjoy and engage with these differences."

You can find the CFP here. 
Happy New Year!
