How to publish in ACRL: Non-serial publications

Are you working on a survey, directory, pamphlet, bibliography, or any other project with publication potential? Then you need to be aware of the publication procedures for non-serial publications developed by the ACRL Publications Committee.

If your idea is appropriate for the Publications in Librarianship series, contact the editor, Jonathan A. Lindsey, Coordinator of Library Affairs, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76798. If your idea is appropriate for a CLIP Note, contact the chair of the CLS Clip Note Committee, Pamela Snelson, Coordinator of Access Services, Drew University Library, Madison, NJ 07940.

If your idea is more appropriate as an ACRL non-serial publication, your proposal will go through the following steps on the way.

Step One. Fill out a “Preliminary Publication Information Form,” available from ACRL Headquarters, early in the planning stages of your project. This form asks for basic information about the scope and content of the proposed publication and the individual(s) responsible for developing it. Send the completed form to Mary Ellen Davis, ACRL’s publications officer, at ACRL Headquarters.

Step Two. The ACRL publications officer reviews the proposal and offers ALA Publishing Services the first chance of accepting the project as an

ALA publication. This “right of first refusal” is specified in the operating agreement between ALA and its divisions.

Step Three. ACRL’s Publications Subcommittee on Non-Serial Proposals and the ACRL publications officer review the content and viability of the proposal and make a recommendation as to its feasibility. (In some cases, an outside reader with expertise in the subject area will be asked to review the publication for editorial content. This review will next be considered by the Subcommittee and the publications officer.) The Subcommittee will review and act upon publication proposals throughout the year, as well as at ALA annual conferences and midwinter meetings.

Step Four. After reviewing the recommendations of the Subcommittee (and any outside reviewers) the ACRL publications officer then accepts, rejects, refers back to ALA Publishing Services, or asks for further development of each proposal from the author or sponsoring body.

Step Five. If your proposal is accepted, submit your completed manuscript to ACRL Headquarters for further review by the Subcommittee and the ACRL publications officer.

For further information, contact Mary Ellen Davis, ACRL Publications Officer, ACRL/ALA, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611-2795; (312) 944-6780, x287. ■■
