Call for Editors: Public Services Quarterly (Internet Resources & Special Libraries, Special Challenges)

Public Services Quarterly is recruiting editors for our Internet Resources and Special Libraries, Special Challenges columns. 

As column editor, your role will be to produce 4 pieces a year by recruiting and working with authors on development and editing. Columns are some of our most accessed content and bring visibility both to editors and authors.  We are open to solo editors or a duo working on each column. Opportunities begin ASAP but columns won’t be due until September for Special Libraries, Special Challenges and December for Internet Resources.


Internet Resources - Aims & Scope:

Designed to be a clearinghouse for free, online websites, each column will focus on themes relevant to current issues in academic libraries and feature resources selected to make the lives of public services librarians easier.  


This column covers about 6 websites per issue. Each review is about 500 words and is written by different reviewers.


Special Libraries, Special Challenges -  Aims & Scope:

Dedicated to exploring the unique public services challenges that arise in libraries that specialize in a particular subject, such as law, medicine, business and so forth. In each column, the author will discuss public service dilemmas and solutions that arise specifically in special libraries. 


For consideration send a letter of interest and your CV to Kim Mitchell, Public Services Quarterly Editor-in-Chief <mitchelk@union.edu>
