Call for Papers: Edited Collection on Libraries and Cultural Rights Publication
Call for Papers: Edited Collection on Libraries and Cultural Rights Publication
Seeking chapters for a new edited collection entitled Beyond Article 19: Libraries and Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.
This book will address the subject of libraries and cultural rights, a topic that has received relatively little attention in the past, but which librarians and others concerned with human rights are beginning to recognize and discuss. Librarians have long been concerned with individual rights and have worked tirelessly to protect and preserve those rights, but little has been written about the role that libraries can play in protecting and promoting group rights, specifically cultural rights. This book will examine this shortfall by exploring the relationship between libraries, cultural rights, and community life and identity.
We are seeking chapters that take a theoretical, practical, and/or historical approach to the issue. Possible chapter themes include:
* Theoretical explorations of libraries and cultural, economic, and social rights
* Legislation that protects libraries as social and cultural institutions
* Legal and judicial aspects of libraries and cultural rights
* The role of libraries in creating and preserving cultural memory
* The history of libraries and cultural rights/community identity
* Libraries as vehicles for social, economic, and cultural expression
* Explorations of Article 27 – how and why do/should libraries participate in the cultural life of a community
* Cultural rights as social rights in the library – moving beyond static collections to dynamic spaces of interaction
* Libraries as cultural mediators – how is cultural life defined/negotiated in multicultural communities.
* Is there a difference between cultural life as represented in national archives versus common public libraries? Should there be?
* How can libraries represent community identity while operating in a globalized world?
* Libraries as reflective and/or prescriptive of cultural identity
* Can libraries as “neutral spaces” actually serve as centers of cultural and community identity?
This collection of essays will clarify these issues, underscore their importance and significance, and lay the groundwork for further inquiry.
Please send an abstract and vita to the editors, Julie Biando Edwards (julie.edwards@umontana.edu) and Stephan P.
Edwards(stephan.edwards@umontana.edu) by MARCH 30, 2009. Completed chapters will be due to the editors on JUNE 1, 2009.

_The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances_ will be publishing a special issue(s) on the effect of the current global economic recession on libraries. The editor is looking for articles from all types of libraries: public, academic, private, special, corporate, etc. Articles that deal with managing layoffs, permanent cuts to staffing and collections, innovative collaborative and cooperative arrangements between and among libraries and/or other organizations because of budget cuts(including shared print, cataloging, collection building, etc.), and organizational change and/or strategic planning in a time of dramatic budget cuts are especially encouraged. Articles can be of any length, and figures and screen shots are encouraged.
If you are interested in contributing, please send the editor your name, a short proposal of the topic, and a tentative title for the article. Deadline for proposals is March 1, 2009. Articles would be due to the editor by July 1, 2009. Any questions can be directed to the editor.
Thank you.
