From: Bonnie MacEwan <bjm_at_psulias.psu.edu> for Jennifer Younger, editor, LRTS
Book Review Editor
Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS) is in search of a new
book review editor. Gregory Leazer, whose term ended with the
Annual Conference, has left the LRTS Editorial Board, with many
thanks and MUCH appreciation for the outstanding book reviews
contributed to LRTS.
Book reviews play an important role in professional communication,
creating an awareness of new resources and providing an assessment
of the contents. Information comes in many formats and reviews can
be of web sites and CD-ROMs as well, although books have been the
predominant form.
The book review editor selects the books (or other resources) to be
reviewed, solicits reviewers and edits the reviews. The editor
receives books from some presses and institutions, such as
Scarecrow, Greenwood, Academic, Haworth, and schools of library and
information science, but can (and does) select from the broadest
range of sources.
The book review editor is one of 8 assistant editors and a member
of the LRTS Editorial Board.
Please send a statement of interest to me [Jennifer Younger] at your earliest
convenience. The position is available immediately and appointment
by September 1 is highly desirable.
