Call for Submissions: http://www.ala-apa.org/newsletter/submissions.htm
The American Library Association-Allied Professional Association (ALA-APA) is currently seeking submissions for "Library Worklife: HR E-News for Today's Leaders." Library Worklife informs readers about issues - career advancement, certification, human resources practice, pay equity, recruitment, research, work/life balance - that concern all library workers. One way to ensure that the publication reflects your concerns and celebrates your victories is to become a featured author. Published monthly, Library Worklife is received by thousands of librarians and other library workers.
Library Worklife is the channel for library workers, administrators, and the public who are seeking change in the way our profession is defined, viewed, and treated. Regard it as a community publication, as multi-faceted in its purpose as its audience, revealing similarities and differences between the work lives of workers in all types of libraries, showcasing individuals/institutions/programs that have a positive impact on the professional lives of library workers, and educating about theories and trends that challenge current notions and practices. Library Worklife is sent electronically each month on the second Tuesday to subscribers and abstracts of each article are available on the ALA-APA Web site.
Please consider:
* submitting an article or editorial
* creating an article series
* debuting a concise excerpt from your research
* sharing a successful program
* reviewing and recommending human resources-related publications from the library and other disciplines
* submitting a speech tackling pressing professional issues
* describing how you manage new assignments and skill enhancements
* publicizing pay equity and certification initiatives in your institution/state/region.
