++++++++++++ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY--IMPORTANT CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS REGARDING FORMAT!!
++++++++++++ ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS COMMITTEE Dear AJL Convention Speaker: Please share your June 2005 AJL Convention presentation with those unable to attend your session or convention. It will be published in the Proceedings of the 40th Annual Convention of Association of Jewish Libraries -Oakland, California, June 19-23, 2005, on the AJL Website (http://www.jewishlibraries.org). Each published presentation will include your text, and your abstract and bio copied from the convention book. We will publish on the AJL website in PDF (Portable Document Format) to preserve the integrity of your work, i.e. others can save, download, and/or print it but cannot modify it in this format. In previous years we provided detailed formatting instructions to provide a uniform look in a printed Proceedings publication. Now that papers can be accessed individually online, we're relaxing our format requirements-please suit yourself as to font, heading and footnote style, and length (within reason!). The few requests we still must make, along with instructions for getting the paper to us, are outlined below. Deadline: Saturday, August 20, 2005 Procedures 1. Format: Send us an "electronic" copy (written on a computer and copied to a diskette, OR attached as a file to email, OR copied and pasted into an email message. If you send a diskette, identify software and version.) We will add your abstract and bio to the online version of your paper. We will NOT touch the content. If your paper requires special formatting, also mail a print copy. If you have no access to a computer, mail a print copy -- on 8-1/2 x 11 white plain paper. Please do not fax. 2. Hebrew in text preferably typed, or in easy-to-read print or handwriting. 3. Contents/Copyright/Notes: Must be your original work. Include copyrighted materials only with permission, or cite full references to these materials. For quotations, indicate source and page number. You may indicate your own copyright of your manuscript on the first page, if you wish 4. Errors: No cross-outs, written inserts, etc. We will NOT be editing. Please correct typos, etc. Use Spellcheck! Our disclaimer to publish "as is" will be stated in the Preface. 5. At the end of your paper, feel free to add "For more information, contact . . . " -- for handouts, bibliography, references, illustrations, Web address, etc. 6. Graphics: Please send all graphics IN A SEPARATE FILE from your text. To decrease dowload time for your readers, we will connect them to your text by means of hotlinks. Please insert *** (three asterisks) before and after the text pointing to each graphic to enable us to identify needed hotlinks easily. If you have questions, contact Joan Biella. 7. PowerPoint presentations: We can accept these as long as the file is on the order of 2 MB or smaller. Long files are simply too cumbersome for most viewers to download. As faster technology spreads, we will hope to increase the file size limits. 8. Delivery: By August 20, please SEND by e-mail to: Joan Biella (Proceedings Committee Chair): [EMAIL PROTECTED] WITH A COPY TO Elana Gensler (AJL Publications VP) [EMAIL PROTECTED] If sending a print copy is the ONLY option for you, please address it to Joan Biella, 4853 Cordell Ave. #616, Bethesda MD 20814. Questions/Extensions? Contact Joan Biella (Proceedings Committee Chair): 202-707-0982 -- fax 202-707-2824 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] THANK YOU VERY MUCH! We very much appreciate your participation and cooperation. B'Shalom...
