[Web4lib] Current Cites seeks contributors

[Roy Tennant]

I am seeking good writers and summarizers who would like to join the team
that produces the monthly current awareness publication Current Cites. What
will be required is one or more single paragraph citations of the best of
library and information technology literature (print, web, blogs, etc.) once
a month. Citations are submitted via a web form with separate fields for all
of the bibliographic information and the citation itself. The time required
is not great, but monthly contributions are expected.

To apply, please send me a brief statement of your qualifications, with
pointers to, or attachments of, recent writing samples. Those who have
preceded their application with a bribe of sufficient size or a bottle of
fine wine or single malt Scotch will receive particular attention.

The application period is open until I decide to close it, and I haven't a
clue how many positions exist. I trust I'll know when I have enough new
contributors, so apply soon if you're interested. If you're not interested,
I can't believe you've read this far.

For compensation I can only offer the undying gratitude of many of your
colleagues and the opportunity to write shorter pieces than you will ever
experience outside of a blog or a grocery list. Thanks,
Roy
