Advances in Library Administration and Organization 2017
Volume: Emotion in the Library Workplace
Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Missoula College at the University of
Montana
Volume Editor: Miriam Matteson, Kent State University
Emotions are prevalent in the library workplace leading to many
questions and areas of analysis worth exploring. For example, what tools for
developing emotional intelligence are used effectively in library
workplaces? How can emotional labor be
managed to minimize the negative effects
of emotion work? How can library employees express authentic emotions while
still adhering to service expectations? How does dispositional affect – how one
experiences emotions - influence relationships in the workplace? What role does
emotion play in effective as well as ideal library leadership and management?
In this volume we welcome submissions that consider how emotions or related
concepts such as affect, mood, or discrete feelings, intersect with library
administration.
The first 2017 volume of Advances
in Library Administration and Organization will focus on the role of emotions
in the library workplace. ALAO offers long-form research,
comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of
evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series aims to answer the questions, “How
have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?” It goes beyond a
platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across
issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean
new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of
scholarly solutions to professional quandaries.
We are currently seeking proposals for the 2017 volume on emotions
in the library workplace. If you are
interested in being part of this volume, please send a proposal including
author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at Samantha.hines@umontana.edu by
July 15, 2016.
