CFP - Looking for regular columnists for The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances

_The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances_ is looking for regular columnists who can speak to the issues and background of the journal indicated below. I am especially interested in management or staff in public, private, academic, and special libraries and other information organizations (like archives and museums) writing columns that address issues related to budgeting, management, human resources, development, and outsourcing (among others) in information organizations, not just libraries. Columns are needed on a quarterly basis (every 3 months). There is no renumeration provided for this, just the opportunity to get your name out into the profession and to put this on your resume. Please contact the editor directly if you are interested in contributing. Thank you.
