[Posted by request. Dick Hill]
The Library Quarterly, the premier journal of informed
research in all areas
of librarianship, is pleased to announce an expanded reviews
section. While
continuing to review print monographs and reference books,
the new reviews
section will also include coverage of websites, databases,
and exhibits.
The broadened scope of the reviews section requires more
reviewers who have
expertise in relevant areas.
To enable this expansion of the Reviews Section, The Library
Quarterly is
extremely pleased to welcome the Association of College and
Research
Libraries Library & Information Science Collections
Discussion Group as full
partners. The Group will assume responsibility for:
. Identifying items in all media for possible review;
. Soliciting reviewers from faculty, peers, and doctoral
students
within their LIS programs and across their campuses; and
. Communicating with LQ editorial offices to insure the
smooth
transition of edited reviewing copy for subsequent
publication in LQ.
Sue Searing, head of the Library and Information Science
Library at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and ACRL LIS
Collections
Discussion Group Chair, will coordinate the effort with ACRL
LISCDG
librarians. Linda Most, doctoral student at Florida State
University's
College of Information, will serve as Staff Coordinator of
the Reviews
Section.
LQ readers are encouraged to suggest new review
opportunities to the ACRL
LISCDG librarians, LQ editors, or the LQ Staff Coordinator
for
consideration. Please feel free to e-mail suggestions and
questions
directly to Linda Most at lrm04c fsu.edu. Additional
information on how to
participate in the reviews process can be found on the LQ
website,
http:/
/www.journals.uchicago.edu/LQ/home.html. We hope all
involved in the
reviews process -- readers, committee members, staff
members, and reviewers
-- will be alert to potential items for review and will
volunteer to write
reviews as well.
