The new academic library journal, "Portal: Libraries and the Academy" will
be launched officially in January 2001. To be published simultaneously in
print and online (MUSE) quarterly by Johns Hopkins University Press, Portal
will emphasize research at the intersection of library and academic
issues. Thus we will review publications that have important implications
for academic libraries, including technology, scholarly communication,
colection management, publishing, digital libraries, distance education,
information literacy, and consortial and cooperative programs. See the
managing editor's cogent discussion about the founding objectives of
Portal: (Gloriana St. Clair, "Through Portal". Portal v.1, n.1)

The co-editors for the book review section have identified a collection of
items and reviewers for early issues, but we would like to enlarge this
process. Please let us hear from you if you have titles you think we should
review or if you are interested in serving as a reviewer. Please copy your
response to both editors, giving us a brief idea of your publishing or
reviewing background, your telephone number, and your subject interests.
Review guidelines will be provided. Thank you in advance for your help and
for your support of Portal. Nick Burckel & Susan Hopwood
