De Gruyter Saur announces the 2014 annual award for best Libri Student Paper.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Since 1950, through 63 volumes, "Libri: International Journal of Libraries and 
Information Services" has been a leader among scholarly journals in the 
international library world. As part of its strategy to remain one of the 
premier library journals, Libri is issuing a call for "Best Student Paper of 
2014." This competition supports Libri's goal of publishing the best articles 
from the next generation of library and information science professionals. We 
are proud once again to recognize the very best article with this special 
award. 

Students at all levels* are invited to submit articles with clarity and 
authority. There is no stated theme. Research papers should address one of the 
significant issues facing today's librarians and information professionals. 
Case studies, best practices, and pure research papers are all welcome.

Length: approx. 5000 words
Language: English
Deadline: June 30, 2014 

The best paper will be selected by an independent panel consisting of selected 
members of the Editorial Board, the Advisory Board and other international 
experts. Submissions will be judged on the basis of
- originality of thought and observation
- depth of research and scholarship
- topicality of problems addressed
- the international readership of the journal

The article will be published in the 2014:4 issue. The author of the winning 
article will be honoured with an award of EUR500 and with a complementary 
subscription to Libri for 2015. If the quality of competition warrants, some 
papers may be designated as honourable mention and the authors will receive 
complementary subscriptions to Libri for 2015. The normal provision to the 
author of e-prints applies to all winners.
