Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship (http://www.istl.org/) publishes refereed and board approved articles, columns, and webliographies of interest to the sci-tech librarian community in a platinum open access format; there are no page charges and no subscription fees. In order to provide readers with free access to our content, we rely on an active and dedicated editorial board.
If you’ve always wanted to support sustainable, open-access scholarly literature, here is your chance! We seek two new members for our board, beginning February 2018, to serve as assistant editors for refereed articles.
Once manuscripts have been peer reviewed, the assistant editor collaborates with the Refereed Articles Editor and works with authors to develop finished articles that are clear and engaging. The editors ensure that the authors address suggestions made by reviewers and implement ISTL style and formatting conventions.
Appointments to the board are three years in length and renewable. Membership in STS is required. Applications should include a cover letter, vita, and publications bibliography. Research and writing samples are welcomed.
Submit applications by e-mail with appropriate attachments to Andrea L. Duda, ISTL Editor, at duda@library.ucsb.edu. Review of applications will begin November 6, 2017. Applicants will be informed of the results of their candidacies after the ALA Midwinter Meeting, February 2018. Please contact Andrea Duda for more information.
