It is our great pleasure and my personal honour as the editor-in-chief to introduce Volume 14 Issue 1 of the IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship. This issue is a selection of papers received through open submissions directly to our journal.
This is the eleventh issue of the journal that I have edited and the 24th for IAFOR journals, this time, with the precious help of our Co-Editor, Dr Michaela Keck (Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany), and our two Associate Editors, Dr Murielle El Hajj (Lusail University, Qatar) and Dr. Fernando Darío González Grueso (Tamkang University, Taiwan).
