Classified Advertising Rates and Instructions for 2010/2011

Submission Instructions

All classified advertising orders for ACRL's C&RL News, ALA's American Libraries, and online-only ads are submitted through ALA's online resource, ALA JobLIST - the number one source for jobs in Library and Information Science and Technology (http://joblist.ala.org). Please note that ads are not accepted via e-mail, nor do we hold space via insertion orders. Ads are only assured placement in the proper issue if they are placed through the JobLIST system.

Deadlines

Print advertisements will be accepted through the 5th of the month (e.g., Oct. 5 for the November issue). If the 5th falls on a weekend or holiday, the closing date is the next business day. Deadlines do not apply to online-only advertisements, which are posted every business day.

Late advertisements for the print edition are accepted on a space-available basis from the 6th through approximately the 12th of each month, subject to a late ad fee.

Note: Issues mail the first week of the month of publication and take one to two weeks to reach subscribers at the periodical rate. To ensure that your ad reaches readers in time for them to see it and apply by your deadline, we recommend that the application deadline listed in your ad be no earlier than the 20th of the month of publication (e.g., May 20 if published in May issue).

Line Ad Rates

Regular (Non-member) Rate: $15.00/line
ACRL Institutional Member Rate: $12.50/line

Late Submission Fee: An additional $100 per ad will be charged for late ads.

Note: To estimate your costs, each classified ad line fits approximately 68 characters. Cost estimates are available throughout the process on the ALA JobLIST submission site.

Display Ad Rates

Display ads are formatted ads, either laid out by C&RL News staff in a basic, standard style or supplied by the advertiser as a camera-ready PDF. Please note that C&RL News sizes differ from American Libraries. A full page of content in C&RL News is 5" wide by 8" high. If you elect to submit a PDF, please verify your dimensions are correct to avoid revisions. Ads laid out by C&RL News staff are limited to the in-house style.

Logos (TIFF or EPS files supplied by the advertiser) may be placed in a display ad for an additional $20.

Late Display Ads
An additional $100 per ad will be charged for display ads received after the deadline (the 5th of the preceding month; i.e., September 5 for the October issue); late ads are accepted on a space-available basis only until roughly the 12th of the month.

Online-Only Ads

Online ads are posted every business day, and have a standard run time of 60 days.

Regular (Non-member) Rate: $85 base, plus $0.90/word
ALA Institutional Member Rate: $70 base, plus $0.75/word
