If you are not familiar with this title, it is a directory of publishing opportunities for academic librarians, so it is of particular value to our membership in terms of promoting research and publication. It contains information on over 100 different publications and provides important information for would be authors, from type of manuscripts preferred to submission guidelines. InPrint was originally available in print format only, then it went to e-format only. The database containing the information has not been updated since 2001. It is long overdue for an update - and the addition of new resources. Our Committee now has the support of ACRL, not only to update InPrint, but to move it from a fee based database structure to a free-to-members website. So, it will be much easier for all members to access the database. As you can imagine, updating over 100 publisher entries is a considerable amount of work. Therefore, we are seeking volunteers from other committees to join in a collaborative effort to update InPrint. We would also like to develop a system for keeping InPrint regularly maintained to prevent it from becoming as terribly out of date as it is now. We would like, as an organization, to make this valuable resource available to our members in an accurate and timely manner. If members of your committee would like to join in the effort to update InPrint, please contact me directly to let me know of your interest in participating. I realize that this may be something you need to discuss as a committee, so I hope that you could put this on your agenda for the the upcoming ALA conference. I will look forward to hearing back from you soon after ALA, or even before if possible. The Research for College Librarianship committee of CLS thanks you.
