Code4Lib Has a Posse! And a Journal!

Per Roy Tennant’s Digital Libraries blog at LibraryJournal.com: “Code4lib is many things. It is an ad hoc group of library coders. It is a chatroom. It is an email list. It is a conference. And now, thanks to the grassroots efforts of the code4lib community, it is now also a journal… being produced by a loose coalition of volunteers. If you want to help, then do… This is the hallmark of everything code4lib does. If you want to participate, just do it. If you want to lead, just do it. Don’t expect anyone to appoint you to anything, because we won’t.” However, they do have a Call for Submissions webpage on which they offer more information, including notice that the “Journal will be electronic only, and at least initially, edited rather than refereed.” Should be a good read.
