"Publishing, Not Perishing: Writing for Publication"
ALCTS Publications Committee Program
ALA Annual in Washington, DC
Saturday, June 26, 1:30pm to 3:30pm, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Constitution B

Most tenure-track librarians are expected to publish articles in 
professional journals, and yet, librarians rarely receive any formal 
training for writing manuscripts for publication, either in graduate 
school or on-the-job.  For librarians, the challenges of writing for 
publication can be daunting, and the opportunities can be limited.  Join 
our panel of two journal editors who will discuss the good and the bad 
about writing for publication, submitting manuscripts, and the 
peer-review process.  

Peggy Johnson, Associate University Librarian at the University of 
Minnesota Libraries, is the Editor of Library Resources & Technical 
Services.
Diane Zabel, the Louis and Virginia Benzak Business Librarian at 
Pennsylvania State University's University Park campus, is the Editor of 
Reference & User Services Quarterly.

This Program is co-sponsored by

    * ACRL College Libraries Section
    * ACRL Publications Coordinating Committee
    * LLAMA Publishing and Editorial Advisory Committee
    * RUSA Publications and Communications Committee


We hope that you can join us for this interesting and valuable program.

Stephen Dew
Chair of Program Planning, ALCTS Publications Committee
