Call for Reporters: Charleston Conference
The Charleston Conference has grown in size and depth to the extent that it
is no longer possible for a single reporter to cover the presentations and
activities adequately. As in 1996, _LAPT_ will be taking the approach of
covering the individual sessions of the conference with a series of reporters.
_LAPT_ has always made an effort to cover many of the programs and
discussion groups at the ALA conferences related to our scope. These brief
reports are written by members of the editorial board as well as volunteer
reporters. This is the same approach we are taking to this year's
Charleston Conference. Thus, I am soliciting your help and interest in
covering any of these programs and discussion groups.
Reports are published much like the Review Section in _LAPT_. The reports
are published in a single combined article with each report having a
separate byline. Each author receives reprints and proofs of their section
for review. Reports are generally 2-6 double-spaced pages depending on the
content of the meeting covered. I encourage reporters to cover the content
and points made by the speakers so that these reports are useful to readers
who could not attend the conference. In some cases, lengthy programs might
warrant longer reports. By way of example, the most recent issue of the
journal, volume 21, no. 3 includes the reports from last year's Charleston
Conference.
If you are interested in covering any of the programs and discussion groups
which follow, please respond via e-mail (diedrichs.1@osu.edu) as soon as
possible. Your finished report would be due to me on 12-15-96. Two printed
copies are needed plus a copy on disk in ASCII format or preferably
WordPerfect 6.1. More extensive guidelines for the report are available on
request.
The tentative schedule follows. Thanks in advance for your help.
