Guidelines for contributors to inCite
- Keep it short
Most articles should be no longer than 500 to 600 words, letters less than 250, and events 40 words or less. Feature articles, engaging with the theme of a particular month’s publication, can be submitted at 800 words. Additional material may be used as an adjunct to the main story: but please contact me to discuss. Longer contributions may be edited for space.
- Keep it relevant
inCite is a national news magazine, and items are accepted for publication because they will interest or entertain ALIA members across Australia.
- Photographs and illustrations
Photographs are welcome - provided that they have some connection with the article. They should be in focus, and with an uncluttered background. Illustrations which help to highlight the important aspects of your story (such as graphs) are also most welcome. If you have a good idea for an illustration, but lack the software or resources to produce it, let us know and we will try to incorporate something from our photographic library or design a graphic which matches your article.
- Format
I would prefer to receive electronic copy of your article, preferably as a word document attached to an email. If you cannot provide electronic copy, please mail or fax a clean copy, double-spaced, in a reasonably large mono-spaced font. If you are unsure about how to send your article, please call me.
- Letters to the Editor
Your letters (of no more than 250 words) on any issue of relevance to the library and information sector are welcomed. Deadline for Letters is the 10th of the month and are accepted on the understanding that they can be edited as appropriate and can be reproduced in electronic form. Anonymous letters will not be published so please include your name and postal address.
- Keep me informed
Let me know that an item is on the way. If you want to bend any of these guidelines please discuss it with me first.
