An Invitation to write for The Acquisitions
Librarian
As a guest editor for an upcoming issue of
The Acquisition Librarian, I would like to invite you to submit
an article for publication. The theme
of this issue is "Financial and Operations Management for Library
Acquisitions." I hope to explore a broad range of business
issues including budgeting, structuring the work, evaluating organizational
performance, and emerging trends and technologies. My goal is to provide basic information for new and early career
acquisitions librarians as well as stimulating the thinking of more experienced
colleagues.
Theoretical articles, research reports, and
“how-to” articles will be considered.
Articles may be written by individuals or co-authored and should be
roughly 8-20 pages in length. As usual,
this will be published as a monograph in addition to being a topical issue of
the periodical.
Suggested topics
Here are some possible topics for
articles. You are welcome (and
encouraged) to go beyond this list while keeping with the overall theme.
Timetable
Submit a brief proposal to me by August 15,
2003. This should include the name
and institutional affiliations of the author(s); the author(s)’ background
relative to the topic; a working title; and a brief abstract.
Completed articles will be accepted any time
after August 15 up until the deadline of November 15, 2003.
I will begin the editing process as soon as
I start receiving articles. I have a
deadline of next February but will wrap this up more quickly if I can. The date of publication will depend on when
I finish editing and where we end up in the publication queue.
Thank you in advance for your help with this
project,
Nancy
