*Peer Reviewed Articles:*
PAL seeks well-written manuscripts that are of interest to academic librarians and information professionals serving academic departments or
affiliated institutions, including:
- Original and significant research findings with practical applications
- Best Practices
- Implementation of new initiatives
- Descriptive narratives of successful and unsuccessful ventures
- Examination of the role of libraries in meeting specialized client needs
- Analysis of issues and trends
See the Journal's Focus and Scope http://journals.tdl.org/pal/about/editorialPolicies#focusAndScope for more information. Potential topics for inclusion are not limited to those listed on that page.
*Other Content (not peer reviewed):*
While not peer reviewed, PAL is also seeking content for two other key sections of the Journal:
- *Think Pieces:* These types of articles are intended to spur discussion amongst scholars on message boards for each piece.
- *Interactive Online Exhibits and Demonstrations*
See the Section Policies http://journals.tdl.org/pal/about/editorialPolicies#sectionPolicies for more details on submitting these types of pieces for inclusion in the Journal.
We have opened our first semi-annual edition beginning January 2010. Submit your manuscript by registering http://journals.tdl.org/pal/user/register as an author and following the five-step process.
