“Writer’s Workshop” at AALL Annual Meeting

The AALL/Lexis Nexis’ Call for Papers Committee will offer a “Writers’ Workshop” on Sunday, July 26, from noon - 1:15 p.m., in the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. (The exact room will be forthcoming).

After introductory comments on writing and publishing, we will break into roundtable discussion groups with editors and experienced authors facilitating the conversation at each table. Although the Workshop is likely to be of highest interest to newer librarians, attendance is not limited to this group. We will, however, cap registration at 40 people.

Table Topics:

• Selecting topics for articles;
• Making time to write;
• Collaboration: working with co-authors;
• Getting published;
• Where to publish: a library journal or elsewhere;
• Researching and citation, including copyright and plagiarism;
• Working with your editor.

Table Moderators:

• Barbara Bintliff, Associate Editor of LRSQ and past AALL President
