Codex: The Journal of the Louisiana Chapter of the ACRL (http://journal.acrlla.org/index.php/codex) is looking for reviewers for its special themed issue on Information Literacy practices, which will include articles that emphasize the high school and/or academic library's role in the Successful Transition from High School to College.
If you are interested in reviewing any of the books (or sets of books) in the list below, or if you have a 2010 or 2011 title you would like to recommend for review, contact me (Tony Fonseca, Reviews Editor) at tony.fonseca@nicholls.edu .
Reviews will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
Here is the list of potential titles for review. I will contact publishers to ask for review copies, but if none are forthcoming, reviewers may have to supply their own copies via their library's collection or ILL.
