> I write to request your assistance in identifying suitable candidates to
serve
> as subject editors (in numerous areas including African history and
> languages/literatures) for Resources for College Libraries, a new core
list of
> recommended titles for college libraries to be published by CHOICE and ALA
> Editions. You will find, below, a brief description of the Resources for
> College Libraries project and the responsibilities of subject editors. We
> seek the names of scholars and bibliographers knowledgeable in their
general
> subject areas, and with a wide range of personal and professional contacts
> among those working in that area. Preference will be given to those with
> experience in teaching, bibliography, or collection development.
>
> Subject editors will assist in the revision and expansion of the subject
> classification taxonomy according to which the contents of RCL will be
> arranged. (Previous versions of this project, printed under the title
Books
> for College Libraries, organized their content according to Library of
> Congress subject headings; in RCL, we anticipate expanding the
classification
> scheme to acknowledge the growth and importance of new, and especially
> interdisciplinary, fields of academic inquiry and teaching.) In addition,
> the subject editors will take the lead in recruiting contributors for the
RCL
> project, and will work with me to refine their suggestions into a
> comprehensive list of essential print and electronic resources for a
college
> library.

> I'll be happy to discuss this project with you at greater length, or
answer
> questions you might have the responsibilities of subject editors. Please
