IS THIS AN Interim or annual REPORT?
__Interim _X_Annual
LIST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES THE
COMMITTEE HAS DONE SINCE LAST REPORT:
- CALA
Board has recently approved the recommendations of Nancy for a
three-year term of English Editor/Chair of CALA JLIS Editorial Board
(2011/12 - 2013/14) and Scott for a three-year term as
a member of CALA JLIS Editorial Board (2011/12 - 2013/14). Congratulations
to Nancy and Scott.
- Successfully
solicited papers for the JLIS in many venues, and received more than 20
manuscripts (that's quite a lot!).
Some papers were rejected, others were reviewed, and four papers were
accepted after review process and sent to NTNU at the end of March for publishing
in the April 2011 issue.
- The
chairperson has worked with Nancy Hershoff on the transition of the
editorial duties. Seven (7) manuscripts were received after April, and
they were sent to Nancy for consideration for the November 2011 issue.
- The November
2010 issue of the JLIS had some delay, and it was available
online in April 2011. It is very hopeful that the April 2011 issue
will be published soon.
- The
chairperson's farewell message: With
the conclusion of my term in June, I will take a new responsibility to be
the President of CALA. I want to
thank the editorial team of the board for their dedication and continuous support
in the past three years, and also to thank the reviewers for providing
timely and thoughtful review reports. It has been three years of tremendous
experience and challenge. The
Journal has become well known internationally as it has generated strong
interest from authors in many countries of the world. I wish the new editorial board all the
success in the coming years.
Respectfully submitted,
Min Chou
On behalf of the CALA JLIS Editorial Board
