Attention, authors College & Research Libraries News can now accept manuscripts submitted on diskette or via ALANET. The C&RL News ALANET number is ALA0306. If you can upload it, I can down­ load it, because ALANET translates text into pure ASCII files. If you don’t have ALANET or you prefer to send a diskette, make sure it is a 5 1/4-inch floppy for IBM or compatible machines; either 360K or 1.2M will do. We use Xywrite III for word processing, but we can attempt other soft­ ware programs. The best thing to do is convert your text into an ASCII file before sending it, if possible. Always send a paper copy of your manuscript along with the diskette, just in case it is un­ readable. Let us know if you need your floppy returned to you. If you cannot send a manuscript electroni­ cally somehow, submit three paper copies in a standard typeface such as Courier or Pica. Avoid proportional or oversize typefaces.
