----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Kathryn Wayne suggested that I post some information about submitting material to Update, Update schedules, and Update deadlines to ARLIS-L. So: Update appears 6 times a year: February (issue #1); April (#2); June (#3); August (#4); October (#5) and December (#6). Each issue has a submission deadline two months before the cover date: December 10 for the February issue; February 10 for the April issue; April 10 for the June issue, and so on. Material submitted after the deadline delays editing (which is the part I do), which delays production (which is done at association headquarters), and distribution (which is done through a mail house.) Each issue also has a scheduled set of columns and I remind columnists of the scheduled deadlines a few weeks before the submission deadline. I expect to send a list of specific deadlines to each columnists as soon as I get a chance. Roughly, though, divisions and sections publish 3 times a year; other groups (chapters, round tables...) twice a year. Time sensitive information appears as needed and feasible, given the long publication process. An article from the president or a designated Executive Board member appears in each issue. In general, too, submissions should be under 500 words and it's fine to submit much shorter columns. Because the conference proceedings are published separately, column editors should not use Update to report on conference meetings and sessions after the conference; notification of sessions and meetings at future conferences are fine, as are reports on conferences of other organizations. While I prefer submissions pasted into e-mail (my e-mail system often turns attachments into gobbledygook), contributors can send copy on diskette or paper through the mail, or fax (508 999 9240). If you have any questions, please contact me at [log in to unmask] or 508 999 8526. I hope this clarifies some of the questions. Linda Zieper Update Editor p.s.: Column editors scheduled for issue #3 (June) are reminded that the submission deadline was Saturday; please let me know when I can expect your copy? Thanks!
