_LAPT_ Needs Reporters for ALA Annual Conference (Carol Diedrichs) ERCELAA@ctrvax.Vanderbilt.Edu 11 Jun 1997 21:36 UTC
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 17:09:37 -0400 From: Carol Diedrichs <diedrichs.1@OSU.EDU> Subject: Reporters needed for annual conference _LAPT_ has always made an effort to cover many of the programs and discussion groups at the ALA conferences related to our scope. Some of these brief reports are written by members of the editorial board. However, a number of meetings for which I would like to provide a report are still available and 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. In some cases, lengthy programs might warrant longer reports. By way of example, volume 21, no. 1 includes the reports from the 1996 annual 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 7-15-97. Two printed copies are needed plus a copy on disk in ASCII format or preferably WordPerfect 6.1. Thanks in advance for your help. Preconferences 1.
