CFP: Privacy & Security for Today's Library Conference (online conference - September 21, 2017)

We hear a lot about how to handle difficult patrons, cybersecurity, and protecting patron data. However, other areas of security and privacy often get overlooked.  Have you thought about your library’s equipment and even the building itself? On September 21, Amigos Library Services will present the online conference, Privacy and Security for Today’s Library, where we will explore why security and privacy is currently a hot topic for libraries.

Has your library addressed issues related to the wide spectrum of security and privacy? If so, share your story in a 45-minute session. We are interested in presenters from public, academic, and special libraries.

Submit your proposal by Friday, July 7. Don't worry if you've never presented online; it’s easy, and we are happy to train you and provide technical support during your presentation. If you know of others who may be interested, feel free to forward this message.

If you have questions, contact Jodie Borgerding at 800-843-8482, ext. 2897.

Call for contributors: Literature Review Articles and Brief Reviews of Books and Products

Interested in digging into the published literature, or exploring new tools? The Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication is excited to announce a new Literature Review Articles section and a revamped Brief Reviews of Books and Products section, and to call for contributors to both.

Summary

• If you are interested in writing a peer-reviewed literature review article for JLSC, please read the section guidelines and contact editors@jlsc-pub.org with any questions.
• If you would like to review a book or product, or have one to suggest for review, contact jlscreviews@jlsc-pub.org.

Literature Review Articles

As a growing area of practice within librarianship, scholarly communication has amassed a body of literature that is already substantial, and growing at an accelerating rate. To help scholarly communications librarians and others inform their practice with the available research, and to assist new and experienced authors in building upon the existing literature, JLSC will begin publishing peer-reviewed literature review articles in a new section of the journal.

 Literature review articles contain an analysis and commentary of the publications on a specific area of research.  In larger subject areas, the review may point to significant works in that topic; new and emergent areas might have a small enough body of knowledge to be covered in its entirety.  The purpose of a literature review article is to describe the general state or condition of the topic under consideration and to analyze and critique the latest trends and developments in that topic.  

 If you are interested in writing a literature review article, please see the section guidelines for instructions, and contact the Editors-in-Chief, Mark Newton and Melanie Schlosser (editors@jlsc-pub.org), with questions.

The editors thank the members of the Editorial Board task force whose work contributed to the development of this new section of the journal: Adrian Ho, Chair (University of Kentucky), Danny Kingsley (Cambridge University), Dong Joon Lee (Texas A&M University), and Leah Vanderjagt (University of Alberta).

Brief Reviews of Books and Products

Scholarly communication is a broad, dynamic field, and keeping up with new resources can be challenging. To help draw attention to books and products of interest to the community, JLSC has launched a new reviews program under the guidance of Reviews Editors Carmen Mitchell (California State University San Marcos) and Michaela Willi Hooper (Oregon State University). The newly revamped Brief Reviews of Books and Products section will publish reviews of new books on scholarly communication, open access, intellectual property, innovations in publishing, institutional repositories, and other topics within JLSC’s scope. We also accept reviews of products that are either new or of growing significance within the scholarly communication community (see 101 Innovations in Scholarly Communication for examples of such products).

Would you be interested in helping your community learn about current, important books and products? We are seeking librarians and other scholarly communications professionals to write brief (500-1000 word) reviews of books or products that are relevant to the community. You can write a review of a resource you choose, or email the reviews editors and we will share a list of books/products for which a review has been requested.

Have you written a book or developed a product (platform, tool, software, app, website, etc.) that you would like to see reviewed in JLSC? Please email the reviews editors and we will add it to the list we share with reviewers. Because these reviews are intended to be independent and critical rather than promotional, we do not accept reviews written by authors, publishers, or developers of the work under review.

For further information and guidelines for authors of the Brief Reviews, please see the Guidelines for Brief Reviews of Books and Products. Contact Carmen and Michaela at jlscreviews@jlsc-pub.org.

CFP: Journal of New Librarianship, "New Generation of Librarianship"

Call for Proposals: Journal of New Librarianship, "New Generation of Librarianship"

The Journal of New Librarianship seeks short columns (500 to 1000 words) that explore, examine, and discuss issues surrounding the New Generation of Librarianship. 

Librarians work in an ever-changing field, responding to new patron demographics, developing innovative technologies, and operating within institutions that are continuously reshaping themselves to meet unexpected demands. These changes promise considerable and exciting developments in the library profession, but they also mean that entering librarians now face new and unique challenges. Those who have only recently joined the profession will encounter challenges, opportunities, and experiences unlike those of previous generations. Changing demographics and new career trajectories within librarianship itself similarly ensure that entering librarians bring unique perspectives, approaches, and skills into the profession. The JoNL’s Issues Surrounding the New Generation section is a venue through which these changes and challenges may be addressed, explored, and discussed.

We invite works examining issues faced by the new generation of librarians, across all fields of librarianship. Topics may include, but are certainly not limited to: succession planning and hiring, and the “generation gap”; the experiences and impact of second-career librarians who have recently joined the profession; changing expectations placed upon new public and school librarians; shifts within academic librarianship in response to changes within higher education; working with new technologies, educational frameworks, and pedagogies.  Ultimately, the section seeks not to emphasize the hardships of librarianship, but rather to highlight and examine the unique experiences of the new generation of librarians.

Contributors interested in writing a short column should complete our submission form, providing a summary of your proposal:  https://goo.gl/forms/YC9z5Z5Vxskg5lco1

Full-length peer reviewed research articles on this subject are also welcome, and can be submitted here: http://www.newlibs.org/for-authors

CFP: Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Advances in Library Administration and Organization

Call for proposals

Advances in Library Administration and Organization
Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Publication due 2019

Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College

Volume Editor: Janet Crum, Northern Arizona University

 

Libraries have begun doing more to support entrepreneurship and innovation within their communities. Makerspaces and business incubators have become featured attractions in public and academic libraries and provide a unique way to reach out to a user group that can bolster a community in dynamic ways.  ALAO seeks submissions for the “Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation” volume that delve beyond examples and case studies to look at how library leaders can develop support for innovation and entrepreneurship within their libraries.  Examples include but are not limited to: analyzing case studies from several institutions to identify best practices; ways of designing library spaces to ensure they meet the needs of all constituents; theoretical discussions on how activities/spaces supporting entrepreneurship and innovation reflect the mission of libraries; creative ways to get resources to support efforts in these areas; how these areas can lead to new kinds of collaborations that benefit libraries.

 

Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest:

• How the historical and cultural role of libraries has changed (or not) to include services that support creativity and innovation
• How and why the development of makerspaces and incubators (or other innovative programs) supports the larger community in which the library is situated
• How innovative and entrepreneurial support develops new partnerships, and how those partnerships can be sustained.

 

This will be the first volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2019. 

About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series

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 answers 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. 

How to submit

If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send an abstract of 300 words or less as well as author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at shines@pencol.edu by August 31, 2017.

Submission deadlines
