Transport policy is a multidisciplinary field where engineering, economics, sociology and law must come together in well-articulated and effective solutions. Despite being a field of effective intervention, most scientific publications address transport policy with a theoretical and often abstract approach, making its understanding difficult for non-senior academics and even more opaque for practitioners. While the merits of case study methods both for undergraduate and graduate teaching are recognised, academics struggle to find empirical material that provides objective and operational illustration of the theories and approaches lectured. This is a major barrier not only in the teaching context but also for practitioners.Case Studies on Transport Policy covers this gap by providing a repository of relevant material to support teaching and transferability of experiences. Observation of field experience highlighting the details and drawbacks of implementation is invaluable to show how Transport Policy can be applied in the operational field, maintaining consistency with strategic options. Teaching with case studies introduces students to challenges they may face in the real world, and provides a very rich learning method for executive training at every institutional level. For practitioners, and specially governments, case studies are a powerful tool to show the potential benefits from policy measures and packages.Case Studies on Transport Policy and its sister journal Transport Policy provide a valuable reference for the specialised study of transport policy offering in-depth theoretical analysis and detailed case study description and analysis, and in this way providing very complete material for decision makers planners and practitioners to undertake transferability of experiences.

Cataloging & Classification Quarterly provides an effective international forum for information and discussion in the field of bibliographic organization. This highly respected journal considers the full spectrum of creation, content, management, use, and usability of bibliographic records, including the principles, functions, and techniques of descriptive cataloging; the wide range of methods of subject analysis and classification; provision of access for all formats of materials; and policies, planning, and issues connected to the effective use of bibliographic data in modern society. The journal deals with the historic setting as well as with the contemporary, and with theory and scholarly research as well as with practical applications. In a rapidly changing field, it seeks out and fosters new developments in the transition to new forms of bibliographic control and encourages the innovative and the nontraditional. Computer applications and network systems are considered from the point of view of creators and users of bibliographic records rather than from that of technicians.Cataloging & Classification Quarterly features fact and opinion from a wide range of individuals covering a broad spectrum of points of view. It deals with both general and specific aspects of cataloging and classification for all forms of library materials in all types of collections. For library school faculty, it provides an outlet for research publication as well as source materials for students. For the cataloger, the journal provides both theoretical background and potential solutions to current problems. For the public services librarian, there are discussions of bibliographic records in actual use and of the importance of feedback from the user to the creator of cataloging systems. For the administrator, it explores the complex elements in the library organization. Cataloging & Classification Quarterly emphasizes full-length research and review articles, descriptions of new programs and technology relevant to cataloging and classification, considered speculative articles on improved methods of bibliographic control for the future, and solicited book reviews. To assist in achieving the journal's goal of excellence, articles are refereed.Topics include: cataloging and preservationcataloging for digital resourcescataloging for special collections and archivesclassification and subject accessdescriptive catalogingeducation and training for cataloging and classificationthe internationalization of catalogingmanagement of cataloging and related functionsmaps and other cartographic and spatial materialsonline retrievaluse and usability issues related to the cataloguse of catalog data by systems outside the OPAC Cataloging & Classification Quarterly is pleased to offer the Best of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly award for the best article published in each volume.

ISSUE ONE is now freely available online To view the issue click here CALL FOR PAPERS For further details click here Celebrity Studies is a journal that focuses on the critical exploration of celebrity, stardom and fame. It seeks to make sense of celebrity by drawing upon a range of (inter)disciplinary approaches, media forms, historical periods and national contexts. Celebrity Studies aims to address key issues in the production, circulation and consumption of fame, and its manifestations in both contemporary and historical contexts, while functioning as a key site for academic debate about the enterprise of celebrity studies itself. Alongside the primary articles, the journal will include a 'blog' section devoted to shorter observations, debates or issues in celebrity culture, in conjunction with book reviews and conference reports. Celebrity Studies - Forum Section This is a general call for papers for Celebrity Forum. We're looking for timely, provocative and open-ended short pieces on current topics in celebrity studies. Recent or forthcoming events and issues in the world of celebrity that we would welcome submissions on include: * The Royal Wedding: Prince William and Kate Middleton * The Ashes: Reflections on the celebrity of players, ex-players or the place of celebrity in post-colonial rivalries * Celebrity & Austerity: adapting conspicuous consumption for the downturn * Spies like us: Celebrity and the Russian spy scandal * The Oprah Winfrey Network: Launching a networked celebrity brand * Celebrity families/mothers: the Beckhams, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Nicole Kidman, Jamie Oliver etc. Celebrity Forum is a section of Celebrity Studies that provides a space for timely responses to contemporary and historical issues in celebrity culture. We encourage submissions in two forms: 1,000-1,500 words (including notes) 'think pieces', including case studies, which should be provocative and open-ended, encouraging exchange and debate. Alternatively, we invite 500-1,000 word (including notes) submissions of comments and views on previous articles published within either the main section of the journal or Celebrity Forum.
