[Publib] Library Writing

[Backwage at aol.com]

I was wondering if any of my colleagues out there would be interested in  
publishing an online magazine of essay-length book reviews and  essays on 
library issues.  The articles would certainly have to be given  peer review and 
of course there would have to be the usual editorial board to  accomplish 
that and similar tasks.
 
The magazine would consist of serious writing for the serious  librarian.  
Being online, it would "publish" when articles were released to  the site 
rather than on a set schedule.  I do not envision this becoming a  vehicle for 
the political vehemence of the moment, nor as a replica of other  library 
magazines.  In fact, there is not an extant example to refer to as  a model, 
nor has there been for some time.  We will pretend that all  the intervening 
years of poor quality were simply an unfortunate lapse, a belch  at a 
church picnic.
 
I write this brief prospectus in the hope of attracting librarians who want 
 to write stuff of the same quality that they wish to read.  Please forward 
 as desired.
