*EBLIP** seeks Writing Assistants* *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* seeks volunteers to be part of a newly established Writing Assistance Team. Members of the team will offer writing assistance to non-native English speakers who submit promising papers to *EBLIP* but which need revision in terms of grammar and general clarity of language. *EBLIP* Editors will refer authors to a member of the Writing Assistance Team on a case by case basis. The team will provide writing support that improves the quality of English and fluency of the paper, thus enabling the copyediting process to proceed more easily. Writing Assistants will be acknowledged in published submissions. Ideal candidates will possess excellent written communication skills, attention to detail, and some experience in copyediting or academic writing. Interested persons should send a statement of interest, indicating areas of strength they would bring to the role, as well as a brief resume to Denise Koufogiannakis, Editor-in-Chief, [log in to unmask], by February 25, 2010. **Please note that *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* is a non-profit, open access journal and all positions are voluntary and unpaid. The positions are an excellent opportunity for continuing professional development and gaining insight into writing for publication and the editorial process. *About the journal* Published quarterly by the University of Alberta, this peer-reviewed, open access journal is targeted at all library and information professionals interested in an evidence based model of practice.
