Recruitment open for editor of ACRL Publications in Librarianship

ACRL’s monographic series, ACRL Publications in Librarianship, will require a new editor to serve on a volunteer basis when Arthur Young completes his term of service. The incoming editor will serve as associate editor from September 1987 to June 1988 and will assume full editorship for a 5-year period in July 1988.

Besides ACRL membership, candidates should have a background of service in academic or research librarianship; experience in research, editing, and bibliographical activities; a concern with publication as a means of professional communication; and an ability to analyze manuscripts for content, research methods, form, structure, or style.

Together with the four- to six-member editorial board, the editor is charged with encouraging research and writing that may be appropriate for the monographic series, soliciting topics and suggesting them to appropriate authors, and editing and refereeing manuscripts.

Persons wishing to be considered for the five- year term as editor should communicate their interest, accompanied by a statement of qualifications and names of references, by May 1, 1987, to: Charles B. Lowry, Director of Libraries, P.O. Box 19497, University of Texas, Arlington, TX 76019.
