    The Code4Lib Journal (C4LJ) exists to foster community and share
    information among those interested in the intersection of libraries,
    technology, and the future.

    We are now accepting proposals for publication in our 14th issue.
    Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences.

    To be included in the 14th issue, which is scheduled for publication
    in late July 2011, please submit articles, abstracts, or proposals at
    http://journal.code4lib.org/submit-proposal or to journal@code4lib.org
    by Friday, April 22, 2011. When submitting, please include the title
    or subject of the proposal in the subject line of the email message.

    C4LJ encourages creativity and flexibility, and the editors welcome
    submissions across a broad variety of topics that support the mission
    of the journal. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

    * Practical applications of library technology (both actual and
    hypothetical)
    * Technology projects (failed, successful, or proposed), including
    how they were done and challenges faced
    * Case studies
    * Best practices
    * Reviews
    * Comparisons of third party software or libraries
    * Analyses of library metadata for use with technology
    * Project management and communication within the library environment
    * Assessment and user studies

    C4LJ strives to promote professional communication by minimizing the
    barriers to publication. While articles should be of a high quality,
    they need not follow any formal structure. Writers should aim for the
    middle ground between blog posts and articles in traditional refereed
    journals. Where appropriate, we encourage authors to submit code
    samples, algorithms, and pseudo-code. For more information, visit
    C4LJ's Article Guidelines or browse articles from the first 13 issues
    published on our website: http://journal.code4lib.org.

    Remember, for consideration for the 14th issue, please send proposals,
    abstracts, or draft articles to journal@code4lib.org no later than
    Friday, April 22, 2011.

    Send in a submission. Your peers would like to hear what you are doing.
