$20 fee for inclusion of logo with a display ad provided as text for C&RL News to lay out

$100 late display ad fee for ads received after the 5th of the preceding month (i.e., late day cutoff for October issue is September 5), subject to available space.

Deadlines: Print ad orders and materials for C&RL News must be submitted through ALA JobLIST by the 5th of the month preceding publication of the issue (e.g., September 5 for the October issue). Should this date fall on a weekend or holiday, ads will be accepted on the next business day. Late job listings will be accepted on a space-available basis after the 5th of the month, subject to the late ad fees described above.

C&RL News issues mail the first week of each month (early July, for the combined July/August issue). Given the time it takes to reach subscriber mailboxes at the periodicals rate, we recommend that ads including an application deadline make it no sooner than the 20th day of the month in which the notice appears (e.g., October 20 for the October issue).
