Call for Papers: JILDDER

From "inbox" this morning, here is a call for papers from the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserves. Generally speaking, I tend to post more conference and workshop information, but several years ago my first article was published in this journal and since then an article published by fellow blogger Betsy Blankenship, I think it's a great opportunity to share.
