Our final issue of volume 54 begins with the annual report from Mary Case, 2009–10 president of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). I encourage you to read this summary of ALCTS’s many activities and accomplishments.
Following the ALA Annual Conference this past summer, two members’ terms on the Library Resources and Technical Services (LRTS) Editorial Board ended, and two people joined the board. I want to thank Mary Casserly (State University of New York-Albany) and Stephen J. Bosch (University of Arizona Library) for their service as two-term board members and dedicated paper reviewers. New members are Lori Terrill (University of Wyoming Libraries) as intern and Lynn N. Wiley (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign) as Acquisitions Section representative.
Continuing on the board:
Library Resources & Technical Services is the official journal of ALCTS. According to Journal Citation Reports, LRTS has a five-year impact factor of 0.613.Our goal is to publish both research papers and thoughtful explorations of operational issues that have value and implications for other libraries, along with books reviews and editorials. We have recently posted two documents to help potential authors: Tips for Turning a Presentation into a Paper (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authtips.cfm) and Elements of a Research Report (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authrpt.cfm). Additional resources available on the LRTS website are instructions for authors (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authinst.cfm), FAQ for authors (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authfaq.cfm), and a list of suggested readings (www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/resources/lrts/authres.cfm). Manuscripts are submitted using our online editorial management system (www.editorialmanager.com/lrts). I encourage you to consider LRTS as your publishing venue.
