Submission Guidelines
- At the beginning of each semester a call for articles is posted on slisadmin list and The Call Number.
- All interested SLIS students are encouraged to respond to the call for articles by the posted deadline.
- Submissions should be emailed to the editors by the deadline as Word documents (.doc or .docx files) for the articles and JPEGs (.jpg files) for the images.
- We recommend that articles stay within 500-1000 words so that articles are concise and busy students will have time to read them.
- Please include a tag line sentence to introduce yourself to our readers.
- Submissions must be original work and not previously published. Academic essays will not be accepted.
- Writing should be concise and clear to understand. First person accounts will be accepted if appropriate to the theme of the article.
- Pictures are welcome, but please include the following information along with the JPEG file: photographers name, the photo's content, and a brief caption or explanation of what is happening in the photo.
- Articles must be approved by the editors prior to publication. Email the editors with ideas, suggestions, or any questions.
- Submissions will not be edited after published on the blog. If you must get approval of the article from a subject or someone you quoted, please do so before submitting to The Call Number.
