Reviewers for Resources for Gender and Women’s Studies: A Feminist Review

Posted on June 28, 2018 | Leave a comment

The University of Wisconsin Office of the Gender and Women’s Studies Librarian<https://www.library.wisc.edu/gwslibrarian/> is looking for scholars, faculty, and graduate students to write reviews of approximately 500-800 words for publication in Resources for Gender and Women’s Studies: A Feminist Review.

The fine print:

– We select reviewers and provide writing guidelines. If you haven’t published with us before, we’ll ask you to provide a book or film review as a sample of your writing. This sample does not need to have been published, and the book or film need not be new.

– Selected reviewers must give us copyright (but can use their own contribution in other places after publication in RGWS).

– We cannot offer compensation, but we provide the book which the reviewer gets to keep. The reviewer also gets two print copies of the RGWS issue in which their review is published.

– All reviews are edited before publication; reviewers have the opportunity to approve editing and make final changes.

– Potential reviewers should familiarize themselves with the kinds of reviews we’ve published; see past issues at www.library.wisc.edu/gwslibrarian/publications/gwsresources/newest-items/<http://www.library.wisc.edu/gwslibrarian/publications/gwsresources/newest-items/>.

If interested, please contact JoAnne Lehman, Senior Editor, joanne.lehman@wisc.edu<mailto:joanne.lehman@wisc.edu>, to discuss and for a list of books currently available for review.

The InSITE conference alumni often mention the conference as among the best-organized and most-supportive conference they have attended.

The conference begins with optional pre-conference networking opportunities that combine seeing the country, often with talks on country-specific topics of interest, with the hugely important chance to network with potential future research collaborators. The networking enables building the trust relationships needed to sustain long-distance research collaboration.

The conference itself combines tracks of presentations of research papers, plenary sessions that provide for keynote speakers and mini-workshops on topics related to your professional development.

The conference also includes your choice of full-day workshops on 1) Teaching Using Discussion Cases, 2) Blended Learning, and 3) Computer-Assisted Qualitative Analysis

New tracks this year

This year we introduce the opportunity for those without much experience in making research presentations (for example, doctoral students) to present their research in a supportive environment. In addition, we have a track on Accounting Education and on Digital Excellence

Fast-tracking of Best Accepted Papers to ISI journals

The Editors-in-Chief of ISI’s journals look over the reviews and the revised submissions and select the best papers for publication in their journals using fast-tracking.  Highest consideration for fast-tracking for publication in one of ISI  journals will go to papers submitted to the conference by November 30. At least one author must be a paid delegate to the conference.

All papers by conference delegates that are accepted are published in the conference proceedings, a peer reviewed serial.  Selected best papers are also published in one of the journals published by the Informing Science Institute.

Public Services Quarterly, web resources reviewers

Posted on January 15, 2015 | Leave a comment

Dear colleagues,

I edit the Internet Resources Column for Public Services Quarterly. PSQ is a peer-reviewed journal covering a wide variety of public services issues in academic libraries and the Internet Resources Column features reviews of resources that would be useful to public services librarians.

I am in the process of updating my mailing list of potential reviewers. Every few months, I will send out a call for reviewers of websites focused on a certain theme. If you are interested in being on this list, please send me an email with your preferred email address and a short note about your interest and any relevant experience.

The theme for the upcoming column will be project management in academic libraries. Reviews will feature free web-based tools, resources, or sites related to helping public services librarians organize and lead teams in academic libraries. If you are interested in contributing a review for the next issue,  please send me your site suggestion and indicate whether or not you would be willing to review that site (reviews will be due February 12th).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Melissa
Internet Resources Column Editor
