From: Carol Diedrichs <diedrichs.1_at_osu.edu>
_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. Some of these brief reports are written by members of the
editorial board. However, 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 _LAPT_. 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. By way of example, volume 21, no. 4 includes the
reports from the 1997 Midwinter conference.
If you are interested in covering any of the programs and discussion groups
which follow, please respond via e-mail (diedrichs.1_at_osu.edu) as soon as
possible. Your finished report would be due to me on 7-15-98. Two printed
copies are needed plus a copy on disk in ASCII format or preferably
WordPerfect 6.1.
Thanks in advance for your help.
