ALCTS Papers Series

The ALCTS Papers on Library Technical Services and Collections series, which ceased publication in September 2013, was a theme-oriented series dedicated to publishing topical, time-sensitive papers from our continuing education offerings and conference programs as well as supplementary manuscripts, commentaries, and reviews. Conference, institute, and other continuing education program presentations were often expanded to form the basis of a publication.

Beginning in September 2013, multichapter publications will be vetted for publication by the ALCTS Monographs Editorial Board. Program planners and presenters interested in exploring publication possibilities are encouraged to contact the ALCTS Monographs Editor at alctsmonographs@ala.org. If you have a title to propose, please submit a proposal. Please follow these proposal guidelines.
