Dear Colleagues



I hope you are all doing well.



The LIS Bibliometrics Committee is looking for two new colleagues to join
us: a new Blog Manager and Deputy Blog Editor to look after our The
Bibliomagician – Comment & practical guidance from the LIS-Bibliometrics
community <https://thebibliomagician.wordpress.com/> and continue the
excellent work of our colleagues Rachel Miles and Laura Bredahl all these
years.



The Bibliomagician blog is a highly regarded source used by practitioners,
scholars, and others. You will have a key role in caring for this jewel!

possibility of extension for a further term. If you are interested in
joining, please could you reply to me by Monday 21 April with a short
statement (max 300 words) saying why you’d like to join the group and what
you could bring to that role.
