A Tribute to Our Meeting Host
A meeting in a room called Seuss?
Music librarians on the loose?
It sounds like fun, do come and see
What life's like at UCSD.
Come from the north, come from the south,
By plane or train, by any route.
November 5th, yes, that's the day,
We hope you all will find your way.
(Dr. Seuss, channeled through the editor)
Editor's prerogative
Apparently on an editorial binge this year, I am an associate editor for the quarterly journal Counterpoise, an alternative review journal "for social responsibilities, liberty and dissent" -- to quote the journal's subtitle -- published by the Alternatives in Print Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of ALA. Counterpoise provides its audience with reviews of and review essays about materials representing socially responsible points of view and recently published by (usually) small/alternative/non-mainstream presses rarely represented in more traditional journals. Counterpoise strives to promote recognition for alternative viewpoints and facilitate their inclusion in library collections.
Among the areas for which I am responsible is music, which so far has received little representation in Counterpoise, a situation I am looking forward to changing. To give you an idea of the range of musical topics we might address, here are some titles I have recently requested from publishers:
If you are interested in reviewing for Counterpoise, please contact me (phone 310/206-5853, Tu-Fr, 7 am-3 pm). You are most welcome to review subjects other than music, also. In addition to music, I am responsible for West European languages, literatures and history, psychology, travel, culinary arts, and sports, and you can review subjects handled by other associate editors.
Much to my surprise and delight, the most recent issue (3/2 (April 1999)) contains a review by MLAer Karl Van Ausdal of Richard Newman's African American quotations (Phoenix, AZ : Oryx Press, 1998). Upon learning of your interest in reviewing, I will notify the membership secretary of the Alternatives in Print Task Force (who happens to be a colleague of MLA Treasurer Laura Gayle Green), who will contact you about your areas of interest. (Isn't the connection between MLA and Counterpoise uncanny?!) Please visit Counterpoise's website. I would be happy to fax you sample reviews and essays and answer any questions you may have about reviewing for Counterpoise.
