Current Call for Papers
Policy: Empowering School LibrariesJanuary 2006 (Volume 12, Number 1)Dianne Oberg (Editor of School Libraries Worldwide) and Anne Clyde (Chair, IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres) invite contributions on the theme of "Policy: Empowering School Libraries". All types of policy, at all levels from national school library policy to policies of the individual school library, will be relevant. Also welcome are discussions of policies in other fields, for example education policy, employment policy, equal opportunity policy, or information policy, as they apply to school libraries. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) policy formulation, the influence or impact of policy, comparisons of policies, the role of the school librarian in policy development, different types of policies, and the potential of policies to improve school library services. Research-based papers, in particular, are welcomed. We aim to include papers from as many countries as possible. The theme for this issue of School Libraries Worldwide is also the theme for the Open Session of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres at the IFLA World Library and Information Congress in Oslo in August 2005; we hope that this sharing of discussion will help to cement the positive relationships between IASL and the IFLA Section of School Libraries and Resource Centres. Authors interested in contributing to this issue should contact both Dianne Oberg at doberg@ualberta.ca and Anne Clyde at anne@hi.is.
Papers are selected through a blind review process, with a minimum of two independent reviews of each paper.

CFP: Museum Discourse in/and Literature (MLA 2005)
CFP: Museum Discourse in/and Literature (MLA 2005)
Proposed Special Session
MLA December 27-30, 2005
Washington, D.C.
Deadline March 15, 2005
Andreas Huyssen (1995) has pointed out that “Few who have written on the museum in the 1980s have . . . argued that we need to rethink (and not just out of a desire to deconstruct) the museum beyond the binary
parameters of avant-garde versus tradition, museum versus modernity (or postmodernity), transgression versus co-option, left cultural politics versus neoconservatism.” How can literary (and cultural) criticism
contribute to a rethinking of past and present museum theory and practice? How does literature (not limited to English-language) reproduce and/or critique museums’ assumptions regarding nation, history, tradition, origin, authenticity, totality, art, universality, autonomy, race, class, and gender? How is literature mediated by museum discourse? How might the insights of museum studies be applied to the analysis of literature? Barbara Black (2000), Eric Gidal (2001), and Catherine Paul (2002) have demonstrated various approaches
to these questions. What other approaches are possible?
Papers dealing with the avant-garde, visual arts critique of museum theory and practice (e.g., Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism; Fluxus, Haacke, Buren, Broodthaers) will also be considered.
Please send 1-page abstracts and brief bio. by March 15 to John Pedro Schwartz.

Conference: Mid-Atlantic Popular American Culture Association
New Brunswick, New Jersey
November 4-6, 2005
June 15, 2005
The annual MAPACA conference features roughly 90 interdisciplinary panels on a wide range of topics. We plan to run several panels on Travel and Tourism.
The Travel and Tourism panels encourage a wide range of presentations, papers, and multi-media displays about travel and tourism. The following is a general list of suggested topics, but other topics and queries are certainly invited.
Since travel writing appears in so many forms--novels and movies, fictions and non-fictions and meta-fictions, cartoons and websites, journalism and photo essays, advertisements and business reports, guide books and maps, reality TV and virtual reality--please feel free to consider a very wide range of materials and texts. These trips might take one anywhere from Disneyland to Holocaust memorials, from the Walt Whitman house to the top of Everest, from Grand Tours to forbidden countries, from personal misadventures to trips of a lifetime. These travels often challenge our assumptions about allegedly simple terms, such as tourist, traveler, map, picturesque, vulgar, forbidden, exile, pilgrimage, exotic, border--and many others.
I am also planning to organize two special panels. The first, "Traveling with Big Brother," would focus on security and privacy issues involving travel and tourism. The second, "Traveling with Little Brother/Sister," would focus on families and travel.
Please feel free to send questions or notes to Gene McQuillan, the Travel and Tourism chair, at Genekcc@aol.com. An abstract of 250-500 words is required by June 15, 2005.

(Two notices...read on...was not clear on the cfp)
UPDATE: CALL FOR PANELS
The Center for Humanities, Arts, and TechnoScience (CHATS) presents: Structure, Space and Transmigrations
April 15-17, 2005
University at Albany, SUNY
Albany, New York
The State University of New York at Albany will host its third annual CHATS conference (formerly HumaniTech*), which focuses on examining the intersection between humanities, science and technology. The three-day conference will host an array of events, including academic papers and multi-media presentations, performance, exhibits, a plenary discussion, and keynote speaker (to be announced). We are particularly interested in panels and papers that take an interdisciplinary approach, and incorporate perspectives from a wide range of disciplines. Priority consideration will be given to those speaking to this year’s theme, “Structure, Space and Transmigrations.” Works from all fields and disciplines are welcome.
CAUGHT IN THE WEB
Call for Papers on the exploration and examination of text on the Web
As a freelance writer for a webzine, I have been interested in the growing phenomena of text on the net. Of interest will be diverse opinions on the concept of writing for the internet. Topics can include, but are not limited to: Anonymity – how does anonymity play into creating a community between the virtual audience and authors? Can there be a community when there is anonymity? What constitutes a community? Are these “real” or “imagined” communities? How does writing for the web differ from “paper” texts? Is writing for the web to be considered a legitimate means of communication versus printed texts? Is printed text becoming obsolete? Where does ‘blogging’ fit into this and what is it? Is a blogger an author? Are we all authors? Are we “caught in the web”? Where will our fascination with the web lead us?
Papers from a variety of disciplines are welcomed, such as, but not limited to: Psychology, English, History, Sociology, Cultural Studies, etc. Proposals should be no longer than 500 words and should be directed to Paula Yablonsky at _pachya1@aol.com no later than February 23, 2005.
