CFP: "Amplify Your Impact" Column in RUSQ (Reference User Services Quarterly) #LibraryMarketing

Do you have a great marketing story to tell? The "Amplify Your Impact" column in RUSQ (Reference User Services Quarterly), is looking for submissions!

As the editor for this column, I'm seeking articles that share how libraries are marketing their services and connecting with their communities in new and interesting ways. Maybe you've launched a new program, found a unique way to distribute resources, or have a fresh take on promoting your library's value. Whatever your angle, your story could inspire other librarians.


Below are key submission details to keep in mind:

  • Articles should be between 1,500 and 3,000 words.
  • The content should appeal to a wide audience of librarians and library workers.
  • A formal literature review is not required, and the tone can be less formal.
  • Content should advance the practice of reference librarianship (broadly defined). Articles do not need to be based on new research but could report early findings.

Ready to submit or have questions? Contact me, Yvonne Dooley, at yvonnedooley@creighton.edu.
