Moderator's Note: Please send your responses directly to Carol Diedrichs, not to this list. Thanks. Stephen Clark ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 18:30:02 -0500 From: Carol Diedrichs <diedrichs.1@OSU.EDU> Subject: Call for Midwinter Reporters _Library Collections, Acquisitions and Technical Services_ _(LCATS)_ _(Formerly Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory)_ has always made an effort to cover many of the programs and discussion groups at the ALA conferences related to our scope. With our expanded coverage to include all areas of technical services, I am looking for reporters in newer areas as well. A number of meetings for which I would like to provide a report are still available and I am soliciting your help and interest in covering any of these programs and discussion groups. Reports are published much like the Review Section in _LCATS_. The reports are published in a single combined article with each report having a separate byline. Each author receives reprints and proofs of their section for review. Reports are generally 2-6 double-spaced pages depending on the content of the meeting covered. In some cases, lengthy programs might warrant longer reports. If you are interested in covering any of the programs and discussion groups which follow, please respond via e-mail (diedrichs.1@osu.edu) as soon as possible. Your finished report would be due to me by 3-1-99. Two printed copies are needed plus a copy on disk in ASCII format or preferably WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows. Sample reports appear in recent issues of the journal. Thanks in advance for your help. Discussion Groups 1.
