In the Library with the Lead Pipe is a peer-reviewed academic journal that covers topics about libraries.

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Library & Information Science Source[1] and EBSCO databases.[2]

History

In the Library with the Lead Pipe was founded as a blog and then developed into a library practice journal. In 2014 the journal created "Library Pipeline", "a non-profit for developing library projects and librarians’ professional development".[3]

A survey of 67 university librarians and archivists showed that only 5% were regular readers of In the Library with the Lead Pipe.[4] The Library and Information Technology Association incorporated involvement[clarification needed] with the journal into its 2010 strategic plan.[5] A 2015 editorial in College & Research Libraries asserted that the journal "pushes forward a critical dimension, blurring the lines between blog and peer-reviewed journal."[6] This includes authors such as Fobazi Ettarh, who defined the term "vocational awe" within a January 2018 article in the publication.[7][8][9]
