Call for Chapters: International Librarianship: Developing Professional, Intercultural, and Educational Leadership
Editors
of the proposed book, International
Librarianship: Developing Professional,
Intercultural, and Educational Leadership, seek project participants
for chapters.
Description:
North
American library leaders from the academic, corporate, humanitarian, and public
service sectors have demonstrated leadership in establishing productive
partnerships with international libraries, many in developing countries.
International library work mandates a specific and refined skill set – as active advocates, educators, mentors, and partners – particularly related to diversity, political, and cultural awareness issues. We solicit contributions which consider the professional growth and enrichment of librarians in the international and intercultural arenas.

We solicit contributions which consider the professional growth and enrichment of librarians in the international and intercultural arenas.
As
part of closing the critical loop, we aspire to document how librarians bring
these global projects back to their institutions, publicize them in their
communities and beyond, and possibly develop instructional tools to communicate
this experience to broader constituencies.
Instructions:
Submit
a one-page Abstract to all three Editors by 15 February 2013 describing your
international library project.
Descriptions should explore the required intercultural skill set,
project strategies, challenges and successes, personal and professional
enrichment, as well as post-project insights, deliverables, and educative
dialogues. The intended publication for
all essays will appear in a book format with SUNY University Press.
Notification
will be sent by 1 March 2013. Chosen
participants will be required to submit 3000-5000 word Chapters to the Editors by
20 April 2013.
