Choice/ACRL core bibliography seeks new subject editors

  • 1.  Choice/ACRL core bibliography seeks new subject editors

    Posted Jan 17, 2024 03:26 PM

    Are you passionate about collection services? Make a scholarly impact with your subject liaison skills by serving as a Resources for College Libraries (RCL) subject editor. RCL is a database of over 90,000 essential titles for academic libraries, peer-reviewed and curated by practicing subject selectors. We are currently seeking editors in the following areas:

    • European History
    • Latin American History
    • Renaissance Studies
    • Victorian Studies

    RCL subject editors maintain core title lists of the most important monographs-historical and contemporary-in an academic discipline. Successful editors balance extensive subject expertise and judicious selection skills together with deep understanding of the modern undergraduate curriculum.

    Access full details, including the editorial responsibilities and how to apply, at the Choice 360 website. RCL is co-published by Choice/ACRL together with ProQuest, part of Clarivate. Please reach out to me with any questions at adoherty@ala.org.
