Hello ARLIS-L,


Resources for College Libraries (RCL), the Choice/ACRL bibliography of essential titles for undergraduate teaching and research, seeks experienced library subject selectors and academic faculty to serve as peer reviewers. We are currently seeking referees for the RCL Arts and Humanities subjects, including:

American Literature • British Literature • Classical Languages and Literatures •  Dance •  Drama and Theater •  French Language and Literature •  General Language and Literature •  Germanic Languages and Literatures •  Italian Language and Literature • Music • Other Literatures in English • Philosophy • Religion • Russian and Eastern European Languages and Literatures • Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures • Visual Arts

Reviewers are tasked with assessing the subject collection comprehensively, providing feedback and recommendations for editorial improvement. Peer reviewers evaluate how well the core title lists support the college curriculum, including collection assessment considerations centered on diverse publications, emerging scholarship, and historically underrepresented voices or perspectives. The RCL peer review is a one-time professional service opportunity that can strengthen collection development skills, inform local projects, and build subject expertise. See FAQs at: https://www.choice360.org/blog-post/rcl-call-for-reviewers-2023/


To apply: Submit a current CV and a brief description of your qualifications, particularly developing or evaluating core collections and/or teaching in the subject area to Anne Doherty, RCL Project Editor ([log in to unmask]). Preference will be given to those who apply by May 20, 2023. 


The RCL editorial board is committed to pursuing equity and inclusion and seeks reviewers with diverse racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, and disability experiences. Learn more about RCL at: http://www.choice360.org/products/rcl.
