New editor sought for AARL

A new editor is being sought for AARL. I am stepping down from the editorship of AARL after the final issue for 2008, principally because I am now residing in the United States. Accordingly, the ALIA Board of Directors is seeking expressions of interest in the position of editor from suitably qualified and experienced persons. The position is available for 12 months from January 2009. The selection criteria are available on the ALIA website at http://www.alia.org.au/publishing/aarl/. Further information on the duties and responsibilities of the editor and the roles of the Editorial Board and the Association is available from Sue Hutley, ALIA Executive Director (phone 02 6215 8215, email sue.hutley@alia.org.au).
