    About this Journal

    The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication seeks to share useful innovations, both in thought and in practice, with the aim of encouraging scholarly exchange and the subsequent benefits that are borne of scrutiny, experimentation and debate. As modes of scholarly communication, the technologies and economics of publishing and the roles of libraries evolve, it is our hope that the work shared in the journal will inform practices that strengthen librarianship and that increase access to the "common Stock of Knowledge."

    JLSC is particularly interested in the intersection of librarianship and publishing and the resulting role of libraries in both content dissemination and content creation. Related areas of interest include new methods for the dissemination of information and information exchange; the theory and practice of the organization, use and curation of information; and issues related to the review, credentialing, reputation and impact of scholarly work.

    ISU Digital Press selected as publisher for Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication

    The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication (JLSC) and Iowa State University Digital Press are delighted to announce that JLSC has selected the ISU Digital Press as its new publisher. 

    JLSC is a continuously published peer-reviewed open access journal with no article processing charges for authors. JLSC publishes original articles, reviews, and case studies that analyze or describe the strategies, partnerships, and impact of library-led digital projects, online publishing, and scholarly communication initiatives. As they transition to the ISU Digital Press, the editorial team and editorial board extend their sincere gratitude to Pacific University Libraries, which has published JLSC since its inception in 2012. 

    ISU Digital Press publishes journals, conferences, and books in support of Iowa State University’s land-grant mission to share knowledge beyond the campus borders. As a unit of the Iowa State University Library, ISU Digital Press is a core component of the library’s strategic priority focusing on open initiatives.

    “The Iowa State University Library is committed to transforming scholarly communications and advancing open access and diversity in publishing,” said Curtis Brundy, Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Communications and Collections. “JLSC is a leading journal addressing these issues and we look forward to working with JLSC’s Editorial Team.”

    JLSC and ISUDP share a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in scholarly communication. Further, they both seek to reduce bias and barriers to participation, at all levels, in the scholarly conversation.

    JLSC will transition to ISUDP in Summer 2021, becoming the fifth journal in ISU Digital Press’s portfolio. It will continue to be accessible at https://jlsc-pub.org/.
