Have you come across a great resource you want to share with the ANSS community? The ANSS Resource Review and Bibliography Committee (RRBC) invites you to submit a review that could be included in the next publication of ANSS Currents. Articles can be written covering any resource in anthropology, sociology, criminal justice, and related fields. Reviews of resources related to equity, diversity and inclusion issues are very appropriate and encouraged. We welcome reviews on a variety of resources, such as:
databases
research tools
free online resources
books
collection development tools
instruction resources
Your review will be published in ANSS Currents, the newsletter of the ACRL Anthropology & Sociology Section, in the "Resource Review" section. You can see past reviews below. ANSS Currents is a great way to share with your colleagues and add a publication to your resume!
Reviews submitted to the Resource Review and Bibliography Committee will go through a friendly peer review process. You can see additional information about that process here: https://acrl.libguides.com/c.php?g=824630&p=6013360. The ANSS Currents Guide for Authors provides helpful guidelines: ANSS Currents Guide for Authors.
