John Carlo Bertot, associate director of the 
Information Use Management and Policy In­
stitute at Florida State University, and Wayne 
A. Wiegand, F. William Summers professor 
of library and information studies and pro­
fessor of American Studies at Florida State 
University, have been named coeditors of 
Library Quarterly (LQ). While LQ will con­
tinue to publish research that refl ects the 
“user in the life of the library” perspective as 
well as research from “the library in the life 
of the user,” the editors are interested in cut­
ting­edge articles from humanities and so­
cial science research that link scholarship on 
reading with the library as a reading institu­
tion, explore the library as a cultural space, 
evaluate library networked services and re­
sources, examine collection development in 
networked environments, or address infor­
mation architecture and telecommunication 
policy. 

Nor man Hor rocks, professor emeritus, 
School of Library and Information Studies 
at Dalhousie University, editorial consultant

Information Science to be the 22nd recipient 
of the International Kaula Gold Medal and

himself or herself as a librarian, documen­
talist, or teacher of library and information 
science.
