That said, the publication\u2019s exceedingly liberal definition of its scope and the wide range of article types and writing styles that it accepts make it an intriguing possibility for LIS scholars and practitioners with a professional (media librarians, film studies librarians, etc.) or personal interest in film.\u00a0Senses<\/em> is friendly to first-time authors and employs forms similar to those found in LIS publications (reviews, reports, etc.),12<\/sup>\u00a0so it could be a good place for a writer to cut his or her authorial teeth.\u00a0Senses<\/em>\u00a0has a solid reputation in film circles, so it might help the career of a librarian working in a humanities or media setting. Well-written and insightful articles about \u201clibrarians in the movies\u201d might be accepted, too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0216,000 unique users per issue and 450,000 page views per issue.13<\/sup><\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0No specific information about audience location could be determined but writers can assume that\u00a0Senses of Cinema<\/em>\u00a0readers are comfortable with the English language and should also be respectful of the journal\u2019s potential international readers, for whom English may be a second language.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics:<\/strong>\u00a0Senses of Cinema<\/em>\u00a0\u201cattracts readers from across all age groups, with particular emphasis on the 25-34 age bracket,\u201d and the majority of\u00a0Senses<\/em>\u00a0readers are practicing filmmakers or are involved in film culture and have completed an undergraduate degree.14<\/sup>\u00a0According to the journal, the common point linking a diverse readership is \u201ca genuine love of and curiosity about the medium.\u201d15<\/sup>\u00a0LIS authors should remember that LIS subjects are of secondary interest to the readers of this publication.<\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:<\/strong>\u00a0LIS authors writing for this publication cannot assume that their readers have any knowledge of LIS topics or terminology.<\/p>\n Senses of Cinema<\/em>\u00a0has a great deal of potential for LIS authors who wish to write about LIS topics as they relate to film. That said, LIS authors need to remember that LIS subjects will always be of secondary importance to these readers; writers should take care to avoid jargon, provide background for any discussion of LIS subjects, and firmly ground their articles in the world of cinema.<\/p>\n Possible topics for LIS authors to write about for this publication include subjects pertaining to library media centers and\/or collections; libraries and\/or librarians as represented in film or in specific films; information gathering strategies for filmmakers, film studies scholars, or movie lovers; bibliographies for film and\/or film studies topics; reviews of books, films, periodicals, movie soundtracks, or other materials that the LIS author might work with as a librarian.<\/p>\n Last updated:\u00a0<\/strong>September 13, 2020<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Senses of Cinema ISSN: 1443-4059 (Online)1 Website:\u00a0Senses of Cinema Home Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0Senses of Cinema\u00a0describes itself as \u201can online journal devoted to the serious and eclectic discussion of cinema.\u201d As an Australian-based publication,\u00a0Senses\u00a0is also committed to discussing Australian film and film culture.2 Target audience:\u00a0\u201cPeople from a wide range of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":772,"featured_media":0,"parent":2017,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2668","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2668"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3342,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2668\/revisions\/3342"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}About the publication\u2019s submission guidelines<\/h3>\n
