The coeditors for ARLIS/NA Reviews (http://www.arlisna.org/pubs/reviews/index.html) are seeking reviewers for the December/January edition.
You must notify one of the coeditors by no later than Friday, August 28 of your interest if your subject background or expertise matches the subject matter of a book in the following list, and if you are able to meet an October 23, 2009 deadline with a 450-600 word review. (Please note that we have combined 2 titles to be reviewed together in one longer review.)
Also note that we have 2 titles that might be particularly attractive to studio programs. We would be interested in having librarians who supports a studio program review those titles.
