Emerald Library Link website features resources for newsletter editors

Emerald Group Publishing is proud to announce the launch of its Library
Link Newsletter Fillers, a free service created to help academic
librarians who are responsible for preparing their library's newsletters.
Editors looking to expand the content of their newsletters are invited to
include professionally written filler articles from the Library Link
Newsletter Fillers service. The first free article is entitled "Google &
Libraries," available from
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/info/librarians/filler_index.htm.

Written with the library end-user in mind, Library Link Newsletter Fillers
promote the use of the library while educating and informing readers on
timely issues. Academic librarians are increasingly using newsletters to
raise the profile of their library and increase usage, yet find it
difficult and time-consuming to create enough content to draw a consistent
readership. Each month, editors who subscribe to Library Link will be
alerted to a new filler article that they can reproduce in their
newsletter with copyright permission. The articles do not promote any
particular vendor or publisher, but instead seek to inform and educate
library newsletter readers on information quality, information literacy,
and the value of the library.

Editors may copy the filler article from the Library Link Newsletter
Fillers page at
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/info/librarians/filler_index.htm Each
article is between 700 - 800 words in length. The articles will focus on
popular or current issues pertaining to information, the Internet,
communications, and other information-related topics. Upcoming topics
include librarians as leaders in the Information Age and email
organization tips.
