Greetings from ACRL Publishing

Greetings from ACRL Publishing

We would like to introduce you to the many publishing avenues open to you through ACRL. As a leader in ACRL, you may be working with a committee on a publication, be an advisor on a publication, or have an idea for a book you want to write or edit. Please remember Kathryn
Deiss, the content strategist for ACRL Publishing, is available to assist you with your publishing needs. Kathryn provides editorial, production and marketing services for ACRL publications. You can reach her at kdeiss@ala.org or 1-800-545-2433 ext. 2529. She would also be
happy to meet with you at the national conferences to discuss publication policies and procedures and explain the process from proposal, through contracts, to finished publication.

Some of the benefits of publishing with ACRL are

* Personalized attention from Kathryn and editorial board members
* Quick turn around time for your manuscript
* Production expertise
* Marketing

Kathryn works closely with the following ACRL publishing venues:

* The *New Publications Advisory Board* which is always looking for print or online monographic titles of interest to the profession.
* The *Publications in Librarianship Editorial Board* which encourages research monographs for the ACRL Publications in Librarianship (PIL) series.
* The College Library Section *CLIP**Notes* which provides sample documentation on policies and programs for colleges and small universities.
