THE NEW ZEALAND LIBRARY & INFORMATION MANAGEMENT JOURNAL NGĀ PŪRONGO

NZLIMJ Author Guidelines
Journal Content
Most material in NZLIMJ falls into two categories:
• Peer-reviewed research-based articles containing original
work relevant to libraries and information management in
New Zealand;
• Feature articles or columns which may not be peer-reviewed,
but which nevertheless reflect high standards of
scholarship or reflection on issues of current interest to the
New Zealand information community.
Contributions
NZLIMJ welcomes original contributions on any topic relevant
to the library and information professions in New Zealand.
Submissions must: include the author(s) name, affiliation and
email address on a separate page; include an abstract of no
more than 200 words; be no more than 6000 words in length,
including references; and use the APA (name, date) referencing
style with full bibliographic details in the list of references.
The Editor reserves the right to edit articles so that they
conform to standard English and stylistic conventions for clear
writing. Any other changes will be made in consultation with
the author(s). If a submission is peer-reviewed, the author(s)
must make all amendments and changes required by the
reviewers and resubmit the revised contribution to the Editor.
The final content of peer-reviewed articles will be agreed by the
reviewers in consultation with the Editor.
For contributions which are not peer-reviewed, the Editor
may make changes which remove jargon and make the article
more easily understood by a general audience. If publication
of the article may be considered potentially damaging to the
reputation of LIANZA, or of an individual, the Editor reserves the
right to edit the article or to refuse its publication.
Copyright remains with the author(s) at all times, though if
the submission is accepted for publication it should not appear
in any other publication for six months following its publication
in NZLIMJ. LIANZA reserves the right to re-publish articles on
its website or in other publications, giving credit to the author.
Please submit all contributions electronically as .doc or .rtf

publication as reviewed articles. Second,
the Board provides such advice to the
Editor as may be requested from time to
time on other matters related to journal
