AASL SEEKS EDITOR FOR RESOURCE GUIDES

The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) is seeking an
editor for its web-based collection of bibliographies of professional
resources, the AASL Resource Guides for School Library Media Program
Development <www.ala.org/aasl/resources>.  Arranged alphabetically by
frequently used topics in the professional literature, these
bibliographies include books, journal articles, Web sites and other
media.

The editor position is open to any AASL personal member or potential

background would enable him or her to assemble and maintain an
authoritative collection of bibliographies that address the diverse

paraprofessionals, government officials and college instructors.  The
editor has final responsibility for the content of the bibliographies.
Business management, production and publishing are the responsibility of
the AASL staff.  Like all AASL committee appointments, this is a
volunteer, unpaid position.  The editor is supported by the AASL Website
Resource Guides Editorial Board, whose members serve as reviewers in the
selection of resources and consultants in the development of selection
policies.  Please note, the editor and members of the editorial board
serve virtually, and attendance at ALA Midwinter Meetings and ALA Annual
Conferences is not required.

e-mail): 1) a letter expressing interest in the position and
