As of January 2017, the Endnotes Committee has revised the submission criteria to be more inclusive and representative of the diversity and discipline specialization across our profession. We thank you for your time and interest, and kindly ask you to adhere to these guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span class=\"c6 c9\">Overview of Book Review Process<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c2\">The Endnotes Committee will allow book reviewers to select a monograph of their choice, provided it meets Endnotes selection criteria, and the reviewer can justify the merits of the selected work. Reviewers must submit a book review pitch that is to be no longer than 150 words and make a concise, cogent case for their proposed review. All book review pitches should be sent to the Endnote Editors at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:nmrtendnotesjournal@gmail.com\"><span class=\"c2 c12\">nmrtendnotesjournal@gmail.com<\/span><\/a><span class=\"c2\">. After evaluation by the Endnotes Committee, the selected reviewer will be green-lighted to write a 500-650 word book review written in the APA format by the submission deadline. After a final check by the Endnotes Committee, the reviewer will make revisions and submit the <\/span><span class=\"c2 c15\">Endnotes<\/span><span class=\"c0\">??author agreement? form before the reviewer will be accepted for publication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span class=\"c6 c9\">The Book Review Criteria<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">The pitch can take a multitude of forms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c8 lst-kix_w5t8pt92yw1o-0 start\">\n<li class=\"c4 c10\"><span class=\"c5\">How will the work influence scholarship in the field, or on the topic?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c4 c10\"><span class=\"c5\">Has the topic, or idea been neglected by scholarship?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c4 c10\"><span class=\"c11\">?<\/span><span class=\"c0\">Does the work make contributions to the practice of librarianship?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c4 c10\"><span class=\"c5\">How has the work impacted the book reviewer?s teaching and practice of librarianship?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">There is leeway for the reviewer on how they wish to justify the inclusion of their book review for the current publication of Endnotes. Questions and further clarification can be directed toward the Endnote Editors if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">Reviewers will be allowed to select monographs that pertain to the issues, pedagogies, and technical works that currently affect librarianship. The Endnotes Committee is looking for book reviews that address a broad range of issues in librarianship. However, publications should be written at a professional, authoritative level and contribute to the professional discourse of a particular field specialization, or librarianship as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span class=\"c0\">Endnotes asks that the publication of the selected monograph be current: within two years of Endnotes publication date. Reviewers need to furnish their copy (it does not need to be purchased; please feel free to utilize your library and\/or interlibrary loan), as Endnotes cannot and will not provide a copy of the selected work. The written book review should not be under consideration for publication or previously published. ?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span class=\"c6 c9\">Criteria Summary<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"c8 lst-kix_ovgs3dprsxue-0 start\" start=\"1\">\n<li class=\"c4 c10\"><span class=\"c2\">T<\/span><span class=\"c0\">he book reviewer selects a professional work that contributes to the professional discourse of ideas, or relates to issues, teachings, and technical issues that currently affect librarianship.
