========================================================================= Date: Wed, 7 Dec 1994 11:47:48 EST Reply-To: PRESSMAN@zodiac.rutgers.edu Sender: Electronic Journal Publishing List <vpiej-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu> From: PRESSMAN@zodiac.rutgers.edu Subject: Standpoints: Call for Papers Call for Manuscripts Standpoints: The Electronic Journal of Information Contexts Edited by Kathleen Burnett and Hur-Li Lee Technical editor, Rebecca Pressman The theme of the 1994 ALISE (Association of Library and Information Science Education) conference in Los Angeles, "Intellectual Diversity: Cross Disciplinary Connections and Perspectives" reflects the growing interest library educators have in acknowledging the urgent need for broader and more diversified approaches to library and information studies. Among the topics discussed at the conference were various perspectives--such as multiculturalism and feminist stand point theory--and alternative research methodologies--such as ethnography. While these perspectives and approaches are not new to the field, the conference amplified voices which were previously only whispers buried in the chatter. With the publication of Standpoints the Electronic Journal of Information Contexts, we hope to address at least one of barriers that prevent researchers from generating such scholarship--lack of incentive. Positivist models still dominate the research paradigms of the field. Researchers are reluctant to engage in projects that employ alternative perspectives due to perceived difficulties in obtaining funding and scholarly recognition. Qualitative studies may not be valued by positivist reviewers and therefore be rejected for publication. Tenure committees may not look favorably on less well-established methodologies and may be suspicious of interdisciplinary efforts. Some of us who attended the 1994 ALISE conference see the need for creating a new forum that will provide an open environment for different voices representing a variety of points of view on and approaches to a wide range of concerns in the library and information field.This refereed electronic journal will be interdisciplinary, rather than disciplinary, and inclusive, rather than exclusive, in nature. It welcomes any sound research that deals with issues related to information contexts. The preference will be given to those studies taking non-traditional perspectives and/or approaches; to studies asking questions starting from lives of a wider variety of people; and to studies exhibiting interdisciplinarity. It is the sincere hope of the editors that the publication of this journal will add diversity to our field and contribute to its scholarly development. Standpoints: the Electronic Journal of Information Contexts is a new forum for different voices representing a variety of points of view on and approaches to a wide range of concerns in information contexts. Our vision of the journal is an expansive one. We wish to support an open, interdisciplinary, and inclusive environment devoted the development of theory and publication of research about information and its contexts. Some examples of the relationships we would like to see this journal support include: interpersonal communication in information contexts; gender studies in telecommunications; research in the communication of information about RtabooS subjects; intercultural communication of information; critical theory as applied to information systems design; information cultures and counter-cultures; analyses of contemporary technological responses to the "information gap"; and building a conceptual framework for the organization of electronic information. We welcome contributions from all standpoints and methodologies. We prefer submissions in html markup format. These can be emailed in binary form to: kburnett@gandalf.rutgers.edu. We will also accept plain ascii files at the same address. If you do not have access to an e-mail account, you may submit in disk format to the following address: Kathleen Burnett, Rutgers University, SCILS, 4 Huntington St. We can handle both Mac and IBM/DOS formats, including most common word processing software programs.

We are academically sponsored; however, our focus is for the educated generalist as well as the specialist.
