All topics are welcome, but the editors are particularly interested in innovative services to special populations, including multicultural patrons, disabled patrons, teenagers, non-traditional students, transfer students, and graduate students. ULJ is published by the Library Association of the City University of New York (LACUNY).

Manuscript length should fall between 2500 and 5000 words. Full author guidelines can be found on the ULJ website: http://lacuny.cuny.edu/ulj/ms.htm. Proposals are due by September 15, 2008. Full manuscripts are due by December 1, 2008.
