I'm the editor of Computers in Libraries magazine, and I'm looking for some willing writers.
The theme of our Feb 08 issue is "Technology for Check-In and Checkout (self-check systems, hand-held scanners, sorting conveyors)." I need to get more article queries (offers by librarians to write about their own experiences) for this issue.
I'm looking for articles that will tell your own lib's story about how you implemented self-check-related technologies. what led to the decision to buy this tech? which system did you choose & why? how did the installation go? what results / changes have you seen since implementation?
I need to get more article offers in ASAP. interested people need to send them via our Online Query Form ( http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/query.asp ). but first they should read the How to Write for CIL document ( http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/contrib.shtml ). that will explain everything about what I seek in an article and about the publishing process.
I entertain queries from any type of library in any part of the world. and you don't have to be a published author already. I just want stories from everyday tech librarians. (if there is such a thing) so don't be shy!
remember, I need to have the queries in (via the form) as soon as possible; by the end of this month at the latest. but the article itself would not be due until Dec 3. once I evaluate all queries and choose which articles to publish, I'll contact everyone and work with them thro the publishing process.
I need authors all year long; this Feb issue is just my most immediate need. so check out CIL's 2008 theme list and jump on your chance to see your name in print next year!
Thanks Everyone,
