Call for Book Proposals: Purdue Information Literacy Handbooks
Please consider submitting a proposal for a Purdue Information Literacy Handbook! These books promote evidence-based practice in teaching information literacy competencies through the lens of the different academic disciplines. We are looking for proposals that:
- Explore the integration of information literacy in one college discipline
- Include the perspective of disciplinary experts as well as library or information science professionals
- Apply library and information science theories, pedagogies, or models to information literacy in the context of an academic discipline
- Are written for librarians engaged in instruction as well as faculty in a discipline who are including information literacy in undergraduate and graduate learning.
Current publications in this series are:
Data Information Literacy: Librarians, Data, and the Education of a New Generation of Researchers (forthcoming)
The series editor is Sharon A. Weiner, W. Wayne Booker Chair in Information Literacy and Professor of Library Science at Purdue University, and Vice-President of the National Forum on Information Literacy. Inquiries about the series and ideas for new books can be sent to Professor Weiner (sweiner@purdue.edu). If invited, formal proposals should follow the guidelines laid out by the Press's Editorial Board. More information is available at http://www.thepress.purdue.
