Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 16:37:51 -0500 From: Carol Diedrichs <diedrichs.1@OSU.EDU> Subject: LCATS Call for Reporters -- Spring Conferences _Library Collections, Acquisitions and Technical Services_ (LCATS) (formerly _Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory_) regularly covers conferences related to technical services and collection development. In addition, we try to provide coverage for other conferences as well: those with an international focus or those which include our areas of interest in addition to other areas. I am soliciting your help and interest in covering a number of conferences or institutes this spring./summer For these conferences (with the exception of ACRL), a report of the entire conference is desired. For ACRL, a report focused on sessions related to technical services and collection management would be expected. The reports would appear as a single article in the journal with the reporter(s) byline. The single (or primary) author receives reprints and proofs of their section for review. Reports are generally 10-20 double-spaced pages depending on the content of the meeting covered. In some cases, lengthy programs might warrant longer reports. If you are planning to attend any of these conferences and institutes and would be interested in providing a report on the program, please respond via e-mail (diedrichs.1@osu.edu) as soon as possible. Your finished report would be due to me approximately one month after the conference ended. An excellent sample report appears in vol. 21, no. 2 -- Rachel Miller, "Emerging Patterns of Collection Development in an Expanding Resource Sharing, Electronic Information, and Network Environment: Report of a Conference," _Library Acquisitions: Practice and Theory_ 21 (1997): 211- 219. More extensive guidelines for the article are also available at the journal website: http://www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/2/9/3/index.htt?menu=guide Thanks in advance for your help.
