Graduate Students Submit Compelling Manuscripts - Largest Issue to Date

 

With an editor-in-chief introductory essay, an invited faculty contribution,
and five graduate student articles, Volume 2, Issue 2 of the San Jose State
University School of Library and Information Science (SJSU SLIS) Student
Research Journal <http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/slissrj/>  (SRJ) is the
largest issue published to date. 

 

The editorial team of the peer-reviewed, open source online publication
reviewed submissions from graduate students in the Master of Library and
Information Science
<http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/programs/master-library-and-information-science-mli
s>  (MLIS) program at San Jose State University and graduate programs at
other universities worldwide. After countless hours spent selecting and
editing manuscripts, the SRJ editorial team published the latest issue in
early 2013. 

 

This is the journal's fourth published issue, and it continues to showcase
graduate student writing, covering a variety of research areas. The mix of
topics explored by the student researchers heightens the knowledge shared
with the library and information science (LIS) community, as well as
demonstrates the wide range of careers
