[Fla-facrlboard] FW: FACRL Symposium Articles

[Donlan, Rebecca]

Hi all,

This is disappointing.  I sent the authors a reminder message about a month or 6 weeks ago.  Do any of you have personal relationships with any of the authors?  It may be better for them to hear from a personal colleague than from me again.  If not, I’ll poke them again.  I am hesitant to enter into another publication agreement under these circumstances—both conferences netted small results for The Reference Librarian.

Subject: FACRL Symposium Articles

Becky: To date, we have received only one completed article, by Christie Moran,  from the Fall ACRL meeting.  We received a "how we do it good at UNF" piece from the UNF folks and asked for extensive revisions, to turn it into an article. At least one other group asked for an extension to May 6.
So, the short of it is that we won't be able to publish a special issue in the near future, and unless we receive at least 3 more pieces, never.
I don't know if a message from you would galvanize the potential authors, and I'm not sure that they are even galvanizable. However, we leave it to you to intervene if you can.

Thanks, wm
