Resources for College Libraries (RCL) Calls for Peer Reviewers

Resources for College Libraries (RCL), the Choice/ACRL bibliography of essential titles for undergraduate teaching and research, seeks experienced library subject selectors and faculty to serve as peer reviewers. They are currently seeking referees for the RCL Arts and Humanities subjects, including Philosophy and Religion.

Reviewers are tasked with assessing the subject collection comprehensively, providing recommendations for editorial improvement, and constructive feedback on how well the core title selections support the college curriculum. The RCL peer review can strengthen collection development skills, inform local projects, and build subject expertise.

This is a one-time professional service opportunity that can be performed remotely, so it may be a rewarding way to contribute professionally while the campus is closed. For further details and FAQs visit http://www.choice360.org/blog/rcl-call-for-reviewers-2020.
