What can I submit?

Articles, essays, photo essays, book reviews, poems, interviews, or any material related to library and information science, including but not limited to: your experience as a SIRLS student and/or information worker, your own research in the field, and your opinions about major information-related issues. We'd love to hear any ideas you have, especially if you are interested in writing a regular column.

There are no strict requirements for length, but no more than 1,500 words is a good limit to keep in mind. Shorter is great. Reading on the web is different from reading on paper and readers' attention spans are shorter. For class papers you are editing to submit for this magazine, consider making it more readable by perhaps reducing the number of examples or supporting information in the body of your paper. We can help with this!

How do you want it?

All formats are welcome. Your BiblioTech editors will accept HTML, Microsoft Word documents, .TXT documents, or most any format you can muster. Also, we prefer that a JPEG or BITMAP image accompany your document, if convenient for you, to provide a visual clue to your subject for readers (will also take GIF, Photoshop, TIFF, or PICT format, if easier for you). Submissions go to your BiblioTech editors via information found on the Contact Us page of this website.
