Call for papers: Library and information studies in the climate crisis

There is a call from the  Nordic Journal of Library and Information Studies (NJLIS), for articles on the theme of Library and information studies in the climate crisis. The deadline for full papers is 28 February, 2023.
"As people and institutions struggle to make sense of new ecological realities, LIS scholars can make an important contribution to addressing these ongoing crises by contributing to a conceptually informed understanding of how people in different roles and various social actors create, engage with, make sense of, implement or reject environmental information. What kind of environmental information practices are prevalent among different social groups and why? How do people interact with information with regards to climate-related issues? How do libraries as institutions transform their practices in the wake of the climate crisis? To what extent can we speak of emerging environmental literacies? What is the role of search engines in highlighting environment-related search queries?" There are a lot of suggested themes including: Search engines and environmental information;  Environmental information practices; Environmental literacy; The role of algorithmic platforms in shaping environmental information;  Information avoidance and climate chang.
