How to become an ACRL author Questions and answers on submission procedures. Are you … • interested in collecting information/data of interest to others in the profession? • finding answers to some questions you have been asking? • ready to share your ideas about academic librarianship with others in the field? ACRL wants to publish practical and timely information of interest to academic and research li­ brarians. Review the following information to see where your idea will best fit into the ACRL publi­ cations program. Who can submit materials for publication by ACRL? Any individual or ACRL unit. Typically, units within AGRL sections seek approval of the Section Executive Committee before submitting a pro­ posal. What kind o f m aterial does ACRL publish? ACRL will consider any publication pro­ posal on a topic of interest to academic librarians. Proposals may be for a print or non-print format. Typical ACRL publications include reports of data collection (e.g., ACRL University Library Statistics— in both print and diskette format), com­ pilations of policies and procedures (e.g., CLIP Notes: Collection Development Policies f o r College Libraries, Perform ance Appraisal in Academ ic L i­ braries), technical materials (e.g, Type Evidence: Thesaurus f o r Use in Rare Books and Manuscripts Collections), directories (e.g., Directory o f Cur­ riculum Materials Centers), conference proceed­ ings (e.g., Western European Studies: Current R esearch Trends an d Library Resources), scholarly monographs (e.g., Publications in Librarianship), pamphlets (e.g., Evaluating Inform ation Sources), posters (e.g., G reat Minds series) and bibliogra­ phies. What a re the criteria for selection? • Im portance. Is your topic significant and timely? • Interest. Will your topic appeal to the in­ tended audience? • Uniqueness. Does your topic make a unique contribution to the literature? How does it relate to existing works? • Intellectual quality. Have you adequately described and documented theory and/or prac­ tice? • Technical quality. Is your proposal well con­ ceived and executed? Is your writing clear and easy to understand and well organized? • Author’s qualifications. Do you have the experience, training, or research information to write on this topic?
