Global-e : A Global Studies Electronic Journal

Global environmental issues have been a "hot" topic nowadays and it is but proper that librarians should be aware of ongoing discussions on this area so as to be able to provide quality information to current and possible library users. Below is an open acccess journal which could be a handy addition to our serial holdings.

The inaugural issue of Global-e : a Global Studies Electronic Journal, ISSN 1932-8060 is now online. This new open access (OA) quarterly journal will “provide a forum for commentary regarding global events, processes, and issues. Each edition will feature brief essays authored by leading scholars and practitioners, offering provocative reflections on a range of topics with the aim of stimulating discussion among the global studies community”.
