Doing interesting, cool things at your library? Thinking about reviewing a product or comparing sources (ABI/INFORM vs. Business Source Complete vs. Factiva, for example, or Google Scholar vs. Web of Science, or something else)? Want to share your insights, experiences, and practical knowledge with colleagues? Think about writing for Online Searcher: Information Discovery, Technology, Strategies. To get a sense of the magazine, take a look at our website, www.infotoday.com/onlinesearcher. Click on author guidelines to see information about article length, payment, and style.

We have a very broad definition of what constitutes online searching. Yes, it’s all those subscription databases your library subscribes to, but it’s also web resources, web search, information/knowledge
management, digitization efforts, emerging technologies, analytics, open access, user interfaces, vendor negotiation, text and data mining, instructional tips and techniques, information/data literacy, visualization, and research data management, for starters.

Not sure if what you want to write about fits well with Online Searcher? Email editor Marydee Ojala, marydee@xmission.com. She’s happy to discuss your ideas with you.
