Policies for Library Scholarship

Who Can Submit

Library Scholarship only publishes materials about work conducted under the auspices of Library Scholarship. For additional information, please contact the editors.

Removal

A paper may be updated or removed from public view by sending a request to the editors. However, a citation to the original version of the paper will always remain on the site.

Author Review

Authors do not have an opportunity to approve papers they have submitted prior to them becoming publicly available on the site; therefore, please be sure that the paper is ready for public distribution.
