CFP: "Managing Technology" Column, Journal of Academic Librarianship
CFP: "Managing Technology" Column, Journal of Academic Librarianship
For the last three years I've been writing the "Managing Technology" column for the Journal of Academic Librarianship. There are some (many?) topics I can't write about, so I'm looking to farm out a few columns to get those topics covered. Yes, there's an honorarium.
The topic areas I especially want (but I'm open to suggestions as well) are:
- networking
- software (e.g. software on public machines)
- security
I'm interested in overviews, not "how we did it." To see what the articles might look like, I've posted my preprints: http://www.kcoyle.net/jal.html
I'd like the articles to be instructional, informative, practical.
Thanks,
kc
