Call for Proposals: Innovative Solutions for Building Community in Academic Libraries

Call for Proposals: Innovative Solutions for Building Community in Academic Libraries

My colleague Mary Anne Hansen and I invite you to submit a proposal for a chapter in the upcoming book, Innovative Solutions for Building Community in Academic Libraries, that we are editing for IGI Global. This book will feature those innovative projects, both physical and digital, that inspire users to not just use but engage with their academic libraries. Possible topics for chapters include, but are not restricted to:

  • Building community through traditional instruction and liaison programs:
  • Building community online through web conferencing, tutorials, pathfinders, etc;
  • Value-added library services to meet technology and other emerging needs (workshops, partnerships with campus information technology, writing centers, etc.);
  • Social engagement (media);
  • Marketing/outreach efforts;
  • Activities and events;
  • Involving campus constituencies, such as student government;
  • Staying relevant as a physical space.
For full details and to submit a chapter proposal, go to
http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1254. Proposal submission deadline is February 28, 2014.

Please contact one of us if you have any questions,
