CALL FOR PAPERS

(Please excuse multiple postings!)

Serials Reference Services Quarterly (SRSQ), a new journal by Haworth
Press, is looking for articles dealing with all aspects of reference work
and serials librarianship.  As the number and format of serial information
has exploded, the challenges and opportunities facing public service
professionals has grown exponentially.  SRSQ will publish applied and
theoretical works aimed at assisting in the effective use of serials in
both print and electronic formats.  Possible topics include:

        Tips for managing the public services journal collections and
reading rooms.
        Evaluating indexing and abstracting services for the electronic
environment.
        Supporting reference services for multiple electronic journal
interfaces.
        Promoting Electronic Journals Collections
        Library instruction strategies for electronic and print journal
collections.
        Government Documents Serials.
        Web serial resources for the Reference Librarian.
        Effective Public and Technical Services Collaborations

These are just a few of the topics SRSQ will cover. The first issue is
scheduled for Spring 2002.  SRSQ welcomes submissions from new writers!
