SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 6 hours ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    Resources for College Libraries (RCL), the Choice/ACRL bibliography of essential titles for undergraduate teaching and research, seeks experienced library subject selectors and academic faculty to serve as peer reviewers. We are currently seeking referees for the RCL Arts and Humanities subjects, including:

     

    American Literature • British Literature • Classical Languages and Literatures •  Dance •  Drama and Theater •  French Language and Literature •  General Language and Literature •  Germanic Languages and Literatures •  Italian Language and Literature • Music • Other Literatures in English • Philosophy • Religion • Russian and Eastern European Languages and Literatures • Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures • Visual Arts

     

    Reviewers are tasked with assessing the subject collection comprehensively, providing feedback and recommendations for editorial improvement. Peer reviewers evaluate how well the core title lists support the college curriculum, including collection assessment considerations centered on diverse publications, emerging scholarship, and historically underrepresented voices or perspectives. The RCL peer review is a one-time professional service opportunity that can strengthen collection development skills, inform local projects, and build subject expertise.
