    Dear Colleagues, 
    This is a call for submissions to the second issue of the electronic ACRL European Studies Section (ESS) Newsletter. Embracing the recent merger of SEES and WESS, the Newsletter reflects the state of European Studies Librarianship, equally representing East and West. The newsletter resides on the ESS website (https://acrl.ala.org/ess/newsletters/), where you can also see archives of past WESS and SEES newsletters. The second issue of the ESS newsletter will be posted before the ALA Annual conference in June.

    For this issue of the newsletter, we welcome submissions covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine in general with focus on librarianship in particular.
