 Welcome to the Student Research Journal of San Jose State University School of Library and Science. SRJ, pronounced SIRGE, is an open-access, peer-reviewed, and student-governed publication. SIRGE publishes two issues a year, one in the fall and again in the spring. The next issue will be published in December of 2013. Topics in all fields of information science theory, application, or practice are covered. SIRGE provides an opportunity for graduate students from all around the world to gain exposure of their work through publication. SIRGE accepts submissions on a rolling basis from current graduate students. SIRGE's editorial team has six content editors, two copy editors, a managing editor, and an editor-in-chief, all of whom are library and information science graduate students at San Jose State University. All editorial board members are affiliated with the SLIS program as well. Join the team at SIRGE in promoting graduate scholarship and intellectual inquiry in the fields of library and information science, archives and records management, and museum studies.
