Call for Contributors: Librarians Beyond the Circ Desk: Innovative Librarianship Today

Please consider contributing to Librarians Beyond the Circ Desk: Innovative Librarianship Today on children's programs, hosting exhibitions, and other complimentary activities furthering librarianship; McFarland is the publisher.

Contributions from public, school, academic, special librarians - one 1250 word article or two articles each 1250 words, are invited. Please stick to about 1250 words. Each "how-to" article will showcase the creativity of contemporary U.S. librarians. Those having two articles accepted receive a complimentary book.

For example, if you design software and are an experienced grants writer, each could be a topic for an article; another combination could be setting up a new library, innovative story hours. Co-authoring is invited. Please e-mail some topics as soon as possible and a 50-55 word bio with your present position, highlights as a librarian to receive feedback.

Article(s) deadline is April 15, 2007. Bullets, headings are encouraged for clarity, conciseness a basic.
