                Katharine Sharp Review
                (ISSN 1083-5261)
                http://edfu.lis.uiuc.edu/review

The Katharine Sharp Review, the first electronic journal featuring
scholarship and research by students in the field of library and
information science, is seeking an ambitious few to participate on the
peer-review board for the upcoming year.  The review process needs
reviewers to make this a true 'peer-review' and the opportunity to
participate in the editorial process first hand will be both enjoyable and
educational. The due date for applications is Friday, October 11.

The review board will be responsible for the selection and review of all
submitted articles.  The length of commitment to the editorial board will
be for a full year (actually from now through July) and will comprise two
issues (March and August).  Each reviewer will be responsible for
returning complete critical reviews in a timely manner that will provide
guidance as to the acceptability of any one submission.

In order to be considered as a potential board member/reviewer, you must
currently be enrolled in a LIS program (both MLS and PhD students are
encouraged to consider), have ready access to e-mail as this will be the
primary means of communication, and preferably a graphical WWW browser
(e.g., Netscape).  A strong command of English, knowledge of the library
and information science field, and a strong desire to take part in a
unique and ground-breaking publication is also recommended!

If you are interested in applying for this unique opportunity, please
e-mail 1) your name and institution, 2) a description of your general
interests within the field, 3) a *brief* paragraph describing your
interest in participating in the review process, and 4) perhaps three or
four keywords describing your specific interests in LIS, to the editor,
Kevin Ward, at sharp-review@edfu.lis.uiuc.edu. The due date for all
applications is Friday, October 11.

For more information regarding The Katharine Sharp Review, please e-mail
the editor or see the Review's WWW site, including the past three issues
from 1995-96, at http://edfu.lis.uiuc.edu/review.
