"Internet Insider" is a feature of COLLEGE & UNDERGRADUATE LIBRARIES.
"Internet Insider" seeks manuscripts that discuss issues affecting college
and undergraduate libraries' work with the Internet.  "Internet Insider"
articles are not peer-reviewed.

practicing academic librarians in their daily work involving the Internet
and the Web.  Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to,
the following:

* inventive uses of courseware

* full-text resources on the Internet
* innovative perspectives on Web site design and maintenance
* evaluating information quality on the Internet

Proposals are requested for the initial consideration of a topic.  Proposals
should include a few sentences covering the general subject, why the subject
is considered to be of interest to academic librarians, and the anticipated
main point or points of the article.  Please send your proposal via e-mail
to ksmith@library.msstate.edu.  Please note that acceptance of a proposal
does not imply acceptance of the subsequent article, which will be
considered against other articles submitted.

The deadline for proposals for Vol. 9, No. 2 (expected to be published in
January 2003) is January 15, 2002.  Final drafts and manuscript submission
forms will be due by March 15, 2002.  The manuscript submission form and

as 1500 words or so.

Manuscript Style:
Use simple, down-to-earth communication.  Avoid language such as the
following: a functional analysis methodology for developing user-based
objectives.  Avoid colloquialisms and contractions.  References, citations,
and general style of manuscripts should follow the Chicago Manual of Style's
author-date system as described in the 14th edition (1993).  References

Manuscript Preparation:
* Margins:  Leave at least a one-inch margin on all four sides.
