About This Journal

Whether you are sharing new research or building on past work, Athenaeum offers a platform to amplify your ideas and connect them to a wider professional audience.

Athenaeum is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal showcasing the scholarly and creative work of Florida International University (FIU) Libraries faculty and staff. It provides a venue for publishing original scholarship as well as for expanding the reach of work first presented in other venues.

Contributors may submit either:

Original work that has not been previously published or presented, or
Recontextualized work in which a prior presentation, poster, digital exhibit, or similar output is paired with a new, substantive article that situates the work in a broader professional, scholarly, or institutional context.

The journal accepts research articles, case studies, reports, and other text-based scholarship as primary submissions. These may present original work or provide new, substantive context for prior outputs—such as slide decks, multimedia projects, datasets, or digital exhibits—by situating them within a broader scholarly, professional, or institutional framework. Topics span all areas of library and information science, and interdisciplinary perspectives are encouraged.

The mission of Athenaeum is to:

Support the professional growth and visibility of FIU Libraries faculty and staff
Promote open access to library scholarship and creative work
Foster engagement and dialogue within and beyond the library and information science community

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and undergo editorial and peer review.
