Public Services Quarterly

Public Services Quarterly is currently soliciting manuscripts to be considered for upcoming issues. The journal’s goal is to keep academic librarians in a variety of public service roles up to date with developments in the field. Public Services Quarterly covers the areas of reference and research assistance, information literacy and instruction, and access and delivery services, and examines creative ways to use technology to provide your students and faculty with the support they need. Combining research findings and case studies with authoritative articles, the journal tracks the changing patterns in organizational and managerial structures to present new initiatives for expanding and improving library services. Each issue includes a number of columns filled with practical ideas and important resources. The columns are Technology, Marketing, Best of the Literature, Professional Reading, Future Voices in Public Services, Internet Resources, and Special Libraries, Special Challenges.
