CfP special issue on Philosophy of Information of the journal "Library Trends", deadline: 31 Oct 2012

First Call for Papers for Library Trends 63(1) issue on Philosophy of
Information

GUEST EDITOR

Ken Herold would like to invite you to submit a manuscript proposal by 
October 31, 2012, under the extended timetable below.

CALL

A reprise volume of the Winter 2004 issue of Library Trends (Volume 52, 
No. 3, 373-670) is called for Summer 2014, for papers in the philosophy of 
information as a continuing study of philosophical themes in information 
studies.  For a scholarly review of philosophy and information studies 
generally through recent years, consult Furner?s chapter 4 in Annual 
Review of Information Science and Technology, Vol. 44, 2010, pp. 161-200, 
edited by Cronin.  The seminal works of Luciano Floridi and Brian Cantwell 
Smith may serve as points of departure, as well may the contributions from 
the 2004 volume itself.  The call specifies original scholarship and 
central to all proposals must be the philosophical inquiry of core 
principles of librarianship and information studies, as broadly as that 
domain may be interpreted.  Authors should strive to meet a 20-30 page 
limit (5,000-10,000 words).

PROPOSALS

Submit proposals of no more than 300 words.  Decisions will be 
communicated to contributors by November 30, 2012.
