Call for Papers: CLA Library History Interest Group
The Library History Interest Group is soliciting papers for a programme at the National Conference & Trade Show of the Canadian Library Association, Halifax, Nova Scotia, May 25-28, 2011. Particular consideration will be given to proposals dealing with the varied aspects of Canadian Library History. Consideration will also be given to papers on other themes.
Selected papers may be published by the Library History Interest Group in conjunction with CLA.
Papers are solicited on any of the following categories of library history:
1. Overviews and syntheses.
2. Studies of particular individuals, institutions, or developments, which provide generalizable interpretations or else serve as case studies.
3. Methodological studies, which look at various aspects of research in library history.
It is anticipated that papers will be based upon personal, funded, institutional, or degree projects. Papers should not have been previously published elsewhere. They should be fully documented, and accompanied by illustrations where appropriate. They may be presented in either English or French.
Deadlines:
* September 24, 2010 proposals and brief abstracts
* May 1, 2011 completed papers
