Looking for regular columnists for The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances
_The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances_ is looking for regular columnists who can speak to the issues and background of the journal indicated below. I am especially interested in management or staff in public, private, academic, and special libraries and other information organizations (like archives and museums) writing columns that address issues related to budgeting, management, human resources, development, and outsourcing (among others) in information organizations, not just libraries. Columns are needed on a quarterly basis (every 3 months). There is no renumeration provided for this, just the opportunity to get your name out into the profession and to put this on your resume. Please contact the editor directly if you are interested in contributing. Thank you.

CFP: Popular Culture and the Classroom
CFP: Popular Culture and the Classroom
Southwest/Texas Popular Culture Association & PCA/ACA Joint Conference
April 20-23, 2011
San Antonio, TX
Proposal Deadline: December 15, 2010
Conference Hotel: Marriott Rivercenter San Antonio
101 Bowie Street
San Antonio, TX 78205
Phone 1-210-223-1000
Papers (panelists) needed to examine role of popular culture in today’s classrooms (which includes secondary classrooms or college classrooms) at the Southwest and Texas Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association Annual Conference (meeting with the PCA/ACA) April 20-23, 2011 in San Antonio, TX.
Here’s a quick test for today’s educators:
“Glee,” Facebook, “American Idol.” “Lady Gaga, “Mad Men,” “Lost.” Ipods. Celebrity Weddings and Break-ups. “Twilight,” Twitter, Instant Messaging, Reality Television. Superhero Films. Comic Books and Graphic Novels. X-Box. “LOL and IM Speak” Cell phones. Text messaging. Advertising and Stereotypes.
The list may cause some teachers and professors to scratch their heads, but to our students, these entries would be part of the daily vocabulary of being a student today.
From instant messages discussing homework to the Ipod Revolution, high school and college students are often the experts when it comes to technological advances and cultural awareness. As educators, it’s increasingly important we embrace popular culture whenever possible to create meaningful lessons that help students link the curriculum we teach with the world they live in and understand.
Whether a single lesson idea, a scholarly paper, or a theme for a course, the “Popular Culture and the Classroom” section of this conference seeks teachers with new ideas of how to use popular culture effectively in the classroom. We have had presentations in English, Communications, Journalism/Media Studies, Social Studies/History, Math, ESL, Deaf/Sign Language Classrooms in middle schools, high schools, and college classrooms, and it’s always valuable to see popular culture used in so many exciting ways throughout the country.
Any presentations involving, television, literature, film, history, computer software, music, graphic novels and comic books, Instant Messaging Language, Video Games, or a variety of other popular culture references/ texts/ or sources are welcome!
Send inquiries, a brief abstract or entire paper (your choice) by December 15 to area chair, Erik Walker. (Email preferred)

Call for articles & ideas - Journal call for papers from Library Hi Tech News
Library Hi Tech News (LHTN), is actively seeking submissions.
LHTN is an established (1984+) print and online monthly journal that quickly publishes articles of interest to our international readership. The journal’s major focus is on developments in library technology. Although not formally peer reviewed, LHTN is indexed in Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Scopus, INSPEC, Current Index to Journals in Education and others.
Published by Emerald Publishing Group, LHTN is interested in articles of varying lengths, reports from relevant conferences, and case studies of library use of technology. The editors will work with authors that are new to LIS publishing, and those who are seeking outlets for reporting on practical uses of IT in libraries. Publishing your article in LHTN can be “a place to start,” analogous to a “poster session in print” and does not preclude publishing a more fulsome piece in a peer-reviewed journal at a later date. Readers consider LHTN the source to hear what’s coming next in terms of technology development for academic and public libraries.
Submissions particularly welcome in the following areas (for example):
* New Web Browsers/Search Engines
* Virtual Reference/Pilots/Experiments
* Library Uses of Skype/VOIP
* Integrated Library Systems (ILSs) and ILMS
* Blogging
* Discovery Tools/Federated Search
* Library Mobile Applications
