Colleagues;
I am not a subscriber to this list, but am wearing my hat as co-editor
of Reviews for the new academic library journal, Portal:
Libraries and the Academy. Subscribers to this list may be interested
in serving as reviewers. Portal was launched in 2001 by Johns Hopkins
University Press and is published quarterly in print and online via MUSE
http://muse.jhu.ed u/journals/pla/
Portal emphasizes research at the intersection of library and academic
issues; thus, we review publications that have important implications
for academic libraries, including technology, scholarly communication,
collection 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)
http://www.press.jhu.edu/press/journals/pla/pla.html
The co-editors for the Reviews section have identified reviewers
for early issues, but we would like to enlarge this process. If you
are interested in serving as a reviewer, please respond to me with a
brief idea of your publishing or reviewing background and your subject
interests an d expertise. To identify good matches, it will be helpful
if you are as specific as possible concerning your areas of interest.
Review guidelines will be provided. Feel free to share this posting
with others in your library who may be interested. Thank you in advance
for your help and for your support of Portal. --Susan Hopwood
