School Libraries and Diversity in the 21st Century
The January 2015 issue (Volume 21, Number 1) of School Libraries Worldwide will center on the theme of School Libraries and Diversity in the 21st Century. Deadline for submissions of full papers: October 15, 2014.
Diversity in the 21st century is understood through an evolving and expanding prism that includes dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, culture, abilities, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age and religious preferences, among others. School libraries often serve as inclusive safe havens for many students. They are unique settings within a school that can offer access to a range of resources, practices, and programs to foster understanding and inspire advocacy.
This issue will provide an opportunity for researchers to share their research relating to the representation of culture, language, and exceptionality in the services and resources of the school library.
Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
School library researchers are invited to submit papers reporting their own original research that has not been published elsewhere. Authors who wish to know more about the issue theme should contact the editors. School Libraries Worldwide also welcomes submissions of excellent research on any topic relating to school librarianship for the open portion of the journal.
Deadline for submissions of full papers: October 15, 2014.
