[ILL-L] Call for Paper-Public Services Quarterly

[Seang Ill Bae]

Please excuse cross-postings, we are trying to distribute this
information as widely as possible.

Public Services Quarterly is currently soliciting manuscripts to be
considered for upcoming issues. It also has an opening for the editor of
the Best of the Literature column. The journal's goal is to keep
academic librarians in a variety of public service roles up to date with
developments in the field. Public Services Quarterly covers the areas of
reference and research assistance, information literacy and instruction,
and access and delivery services and examines creative ways to use
technology to provide your students and faculty with the support they
need. Combining research findings and case studies with authoritative
articles, the journal tracks the changing patterns in organizational and
managerial structures to present new initiatives for expanding and
improving library services. Each issue includes a number of columns
filled with practical ideas and important resources. The columns are
Technology, Marketing, Best of the Literature, Professional Reading,
Future Voices in Public Services, and Internet Resources. Additional
information can be found at http://tinyurl.com/38na7r 

I hope that you will consider PSQ when you are writing an article
related to public services in academic libraries. Submissions to PSQ are
peer-reviewed, and instructions for authors are available through a link
on the PSQ page.  Please don't hesitate to contact the editor if you
have questions.  Initial queries about an article topic are welcome.
Please note that the article, when completed, is still subject to a
complete editorial review.  Also make sure that you include a cover page
listing only the article title, as well as a second title page with the
full information that is specified on the Instructions for Authors web
page.

Column Editor Position Available: Currently, there is a vacancy for the
editor of the Best of the Literature column. You can see examples of
this column starting with volume 2 of the journal. If you are interested
in applying, contact Wayne Bivens-Tatum, the current column editor, at
rbivens at princeton.edu.
