Call for a Column Co-Editor - Serials Review

Serials Review is looking for a co-editor of the "Balance Point" column.
The "Balance Point" has traditionally served as a forum for multiple
authors who work in areas related to serials and who present different
viewpoints about current issues and controversial topics related to
serials.

The Balance Point co-editor is charged with editing the column for two
issues of Serials Review per year.  Responsibilities include determining
column topics, recruiting contributors, communicating with the journal
and columns editors, editing and incorporating the writing of
contributors to the issue, preparing introductions, and seeing that
publication deadlines are met.

The person should be linked to the serials profession, either in
librarianship, publishing or some area of serials content provision.
This person should be curious about exploring issues related to serials
and want to make a contribution to the literature of serials.  Though
this is an unpaid volunteer position, the rewards include publication,
involvement in a major scholarly/professional journal publication, and
the intellectual satisfaction of contributing to the professional and
scholarly discussion of serials.

Interested parties should send a description of their interests and
qualifications to:

Beverley Geer, b_geer@yahoo.com or Connie Foster, connie.foster@wku.edu
