Charles Harmon: From Idea to Print: Writing It Up (VIDEO)
Charles Harmon, Vice-President at Neal-Schuman, looks at the two major print arenas for publication in the LIS field: scholarly and professional books and journals. The difference between "scholarly" and "professional" media is described, and the various approaches to both venues are discussed. Guidance is given for contacting editors prior to submission and preparing initial e-mails and query letters for optimum response. Both financial consideration (fees for articles and royalties for books) and intellectual property consideration (copyright ownership, right of first publication, etc.) are described.
