The editor of the "Alert Collector" column in *Reference and User Services
Quarterly (RUSQ) *is seeking authors from all types of libraries to develop
topic ideas for future columns in the journal. This popular column in *RUSQ* is
a great way to share your subject knowledge on almost any topic. (Some
sample "Alert Collector" columns from past issues are below.) The columns
can focus on fiction or non-fiction areas, and cover print and online
resources, with short annotations. You can write about topics germane to
our profession, the subjects you encounter at the information desk or in
your collection development work. Timely, current-events like topics are
also encouraged. Columns are usually between 3000-3800 words and are
reviewed by the column editor and journal's main editor, (i.e. are not
peer-reviewed).
