Invitation to write for The Acquisitions Librarian

This message is being posted to several lists. Please excuse
cross-postings.

Readers are invited to submit articles for publication in an issue of The
Acquisitions Librarian. The theme of this issue will be the integration of
print and digital resources in library collections. Do libraries truly
integrate materials in all formats, or do they maintain individual
collections separated by format?

Possible topics include:
�	Providing access to e-journals in aggregated collections
�	Shifting the emphasis from print to online resources in library
	reference work
�	Comparison of single and multiple record approaches in 
	cataloging
�	Digitization of special or unique collections and materials
�	The effect of chat reference service on selecting reference 
	resources
�	Library planning and electronic resources: how should libraries
	change their floor plans?
�	Licensing issues and integrated collections: how the licensing 
	of electronic resources affects collection management  

You are welcome to choose any of these topics, or another of your own.  
Theoretical articles, research studies, "how-to" articles and opinion
pieces will be welcome. Articles may be written by individuals or
co-authored.

After the journal issue appears, it will be published as a book.

If you are interested in contributing an article, please contact me by
Jan. 24, 2003. I will then send you more detailed information and article
guidelines. My contact information appears below.
