   I just finished reading a very good article in Vol. 42, 
  Number 2 Winter
  2002 issue of Reference & User Services Quarterly titled 
  "Web Accssibility
  of mid-szied college and university libraries."  It makes 
  many good
  observations.  I have on big problem with the journal but 
  not the article.
  The article was submitted for review on OCtober 10, 2001 
  and was revised and
  accepted for publication on Feb 12, 2002.  This means the 
  data is probably
  over a year old and does not necessarily reflect current 
  state of library
  websites.  I am concerned that a research journal written 
  by and peer
  reviewed by librarians takes over a year to publish an 
  article.  It is clear
  to me that the turn around time is too long for this 
  particular journal.  

**Isn't this a problem with any publication that's peer-reviewed?  

I don't know about other publications, but I think most ALA periodicals are
edited by volunteers, rather than full-time paid persons.  

Here's a link to the RUSA board:  http://www.ala.org/rusa/board.html

You might want to address your question to the editors and/or officers.
