Volunteer Opening: Peer Reviewer in Victorian Studies for Resources for College Libraries



Resources for College Libraries (RCL), a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries' Choice magazine and R.R. Bowker, is currently seeking academic faculty and librarians with specific subject expertise in Victorian Studies to participate in our peer review process. Available online at http://rclweb.net, RCL provides a list of core titles that are essential for the undergraduate curriculum and academic libraries.

Referees will be responsible for comprehensively evaluating the RCL subject's bibliographic content, along with its taxonomic organization. All referee work is scheduled for completion by September 1, 2012 and can be completed online and at your leisure. Referees will receive access to the RCL database during July and August to complete the review.

Please consider submitting your name to participate in this one-time professional service opportunity. Preference will be given to those with experience in teaching and/or collection development in the subject area. To volunteer as a reviewer, send an email to Anne Doherty (Project Editor, Resources for College Libraries CHOICE/ACRL) at adoherty@ala-choice.org with your contact information, CV/resume, and a brief description of your qualifications, particularly any experience maintaining or assessing core collections in the subject area.

RCL is a subscription database that identifies 75,000+ titles across 61 subjects that are essential for research and instruction at the undergraduate level. For more information, visit: http://www.bowker.com/en-US/products/rcl
