I often wonder how simple life would have been if I had access to electronic journals during my high school days or even better, my first few years of college.
Youth and young adults of today have various resources to consult when completing research and scholarly published journal seem to gain popularity as a source for reliable information. However, I wonder how instructors and librarians who assist young researchers rate these journals? This is a new subject for me to ponder, and I have lots of questions. For instance, Do you have to belong to a professional organization to publish in some of these journals? How are the submissions reviewed and who reviews them? As a future librarian, how will my profession give creditability or merit to these journals before recommending them to the public?
These are just a few questions that I look forward to exploring in my LIS 2000 class.
