Dear Colleagues,

Education is evolving to overcome new challenges related to the unique competencies of the professionals of the future and the requirements of a new generation that is immersed in the digital media world from birth. Digital Games is one of the media that have the potential to reach these
two objectives.

Game-based learning is the scientific area that focuses on the development of games that are designed over specific learning objectives. From thoroughly crafted educational games to the use of
gamification, the new era of the school will be digital. However, we should not forget tangential learning with the use of entertainment games.

Mobile games are also leveraging a large community of gamers that relies on the specifics of mobile technology, such as ubiquity and pervasiveness. The solutions can leverage informal learning, literacy, science communication, and citizenship, among a vast area of applications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to disclose the new advances in game-based learning and mobile games that can enhance the effectiveness and outreach of learning objects.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Game-based learning;
• Serious games;
• Mobile games;
• Pervasive games;
• Learning models and practices with the use of games;
• New technologies for game-based learning:
• Virtual and augmented reality;
• New interaction devices, toys, and playthings;
• Simulations;
• 3D rendering technologies;
• Game engines and development tools;
• Location-based games;
• Artificial intelligence;
• Educational games analytics;
• Assessment and evaluation of educational games;
• User experience design;
• The psychology of educational games;
• Gender and age issues;
• Social and collaborative games;
• Security and confidentiality in educational games;
• Case studies in educational games;
• Game development for mobile devices.

CFP: Big Talk From Small Libraries 2020 (Online - February 28, 2020) Small & Rural Libraries

The Call for Speakers for Big Talk From Small Libraries 2020 is now open!

This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better! We are looking for speakers from small libraries or speakers who directly work with small libraries. Small libraries of all types – public, academic, school, museum, special, etc. – are encouraged to submit a proposal. We’re looking for seven 50-minute presentations and five 10-minute “lightning round” presentations.

Do you offer a service or program at your small library that other librarians might like to hear about? Have you implemented a new (or old) technology, hosted an event, partnered with others in your community, or just done something really cool? The Big Talk From Small Libraries online conference gives you the opportunity to share what you’ve done, while learning what your colleagues in other small libraries are doing. Here are some possible topics to get you thinking:

§  Unique Libraries

§  Special Collections

§  New buildings

§  Fundraising

§  Improved Workflows

§  Staff Development

§  Advocacy Efforts

§  Community Partnerships

§  That great thing you’re doing at your library!

Big Talk From Small Libraries 2019 will be held on Friday, February 28, 2020 between 9:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (ET) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. Speakers will be able to present their programs from their own desktops. The schedule will accommodate speakers’ time-zones.

If you are interested in presenting, please submit your proposal by Friday, January 3, 2020.

Speakers from libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people will be preferred, but presentations from libraries with larger service populations will be considered.

Call for Chapters on Library Pedagogies & Pedagogical Approaches @manclibrarian @PlayBrarian

A call for chapter submissions from library workers on their pedagogies and pedagogical approaches.

Andrew Walsh and Sam Aston welcome short (250-500 words) proposals for chapters to feature in this book, provisionally called “Library Pedagogies”. Proposals should include a short summary of the author’s pedagogical approach, how this connects with their teaching philosophy and an outline of the key factors that have influenced that approach. Please include a brief professional biography of no more than 3 or 4 sentences.

Each chapter should focus upon how the author’s wider approaches to teaching within libraries influence their pedagogy: individual teaching interventions could feature but are less important. Your chapter should be reflective in style and share those underlying beliefs in the purpose behind your teaching, how students learn in your settings, and how your approaches are informed by learning theories and the wider literature. Tell the story of the journey you have taken to evolve your pedagogy, and the internal and external influences that have shaped your practice. Your final chapters should be between 4,000 - 8,000 words long.

Proposals should be sent to the editors via a.p.walsh@hud.ac.uk

Deadlines for proposals: 24th January 2020 

First draft: 24th June 2020 

Reviewers comments returned by: August 2020

Final version of chapters: 6th November 2020

Publication: Early 2021

A wide range of pedagogical approaches could be covered, which may include but are not limited to any of the following:

• Critical pedagogies
• Feminist pedagogies
• Pedagogies from under-represented groups 
• Enquiry based learning
• Problem based learning
• Team based learning
• Active Learning
• Lecturing
• Playful or game based Learning 
• Creativity and learning
• Visual approaches
• Improvisation approaches
• Using Drama techniques
• Psychogeography / space exploration
• Rhizomatic Learning 
• Gonzo education 
• Punk / anarchist education

Andrew and Sam will offer a supportive and collaborative approach for chapter authors and would like to hear a range of voices, mainstream and under-represented, whether or not you have written for publication previously. We will encourage, but not impose, the use of collaborative writing tools so that authors can share their chapters with each other and offer informal review and support. We intend to also offer a two day writing retreat (in the North of England) for UK chapter authors to spend time writing their chapters together with the editors. 

Note on licencing: Contributors will retain full copyright over their work. All authors / contributors will sign a simple agreement to allow rights to publish their contribution and to permit others to use the contents of the book under a CC licence. 

From the Editors,

Sam Aston (@manclibrarian) & Andrew Walsh (@PlayBrarian)

Call for Proposals
SUNYLA Midwinter Virtual Conference
Life After Migration:  Making Alma and Primo work for Everyone

February 7, 2020

Library migrations to new Library Services Platforms can be challenging but also provide opportunities for improving user services and staff workflows.  In July of 2019, SUNY Libraries went live with Alma and Primo. Are you a library that’s migrated to Alma and Primo? We’re interested in hearing how libraries are changing their library instruction, their in-house workflows, and their discovery interface to better suit their patrons.

Possible session topics might answer these questions:  What changes have you made to update your Information literacy instruction?  What refinements or automation have you made to your workflows? How have outreach and marketing helped to spread the word?  What new library help guides have you created? Have you developed any new best practices? How did you go about training your staff?  What customizations did you make to Primo? How have you integrated Primo into your library's website?

Come share your experiences with your supportive and non-judgmental library colleagues at the SUNYLA Midwinter Virtual Conference on February 7, 2020 (10:00am - 2:30pm EST).

Presentations should be 15-20 minutes in length, in a format that best suits your topic.  Presentations should include what changes you’ve made, how other libraries can implement your changes, and can also include any changes you hope to make in the future.

Technology requirements:  Computer, internet connection, microphone/speakers (headset recommended) or telephone, quiet space for presenting, webcam optional

Accepting proposals until Friday, December 13, 2019.  You do not need to be a SUNYLA member in order to present or attend this free conference.  Please submit your proposal here:

CFP: Library & Information Section - 2020 Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters annual conference (Southfield, Michigan - March 13, 2020)

As Chair of the Library & Information Sciences section, I would like to extend a personal invitation to you to present a paper at the 2020 Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters annual conference. This one-day conference will be held Friday, March 13, 2020 on the campus of Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, Michigan.  Over 30 different sections (academic disciplines) will be holding sessions this year as part of our interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary conference.

I encourage you to submit an abstract of one of your papers for the conference. This conference is an excellent place to present research on library and information sciences.  Unlike many large national meetings, the Michigan Academy conference offers a low-stress option for faculty and students to present their research and get valuable feedback. The conference also provides many opportunities to develop new research relationships, to catch up on old times, and to stay abreast of research in Michigan and the U.S.  Please consider participating!

As you are thinking about which conference(s) to attend next year, remember that the Michigan Academy conference is affordable and involves less travel time and expense.  For faculty who register by the early deadline, the cost is $85 plus the cost of an individual membership (see the Call for Papers for details on membership dues). Graduate and undergraduate students pay $90 total (unlike faculty, they are not required to pay membership dues). While the conference is held in Michigan, it draws scholars from several states and a few foreign countries, as well as scholars from across the state of Michigan.

The abstract submission deadline is December 16, 2019.  To submit an abstract, go to the Michigan Academy website: themichiganacademy.org OR xcdsystem.com/masal/member.

I encourage you to share this information with your colleagues, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students.  In addition, individuals from research organizations, government agencies, non-profit groups, etc. are eligible to present papers at the conference. The Academy’s website themichiganacademy.org has a link to the general Call for Papers (which lists all sections planning programs) and links to each section leader’s contact information.

Please contact us (Chair, Karen Liston, AQ8554@wayne.edu or Co-Chair, Arlene Weismantel, weisman1@msu.edu) if you have any questions, and feel free to pass this communication on to anyone that you think might be interested in the conference.

CFP: LACUNY Institute 2020 (New York City - May 8, 2020) - Ending the Library Stereotype: Non-Traditional Practices for the 21st-century

LACUNY Institute 2020
Friday., May 8, 2020, Bronx Community College, City University of New York (CUNY)
Call for Proposals

Ending the Library Stereotype: Non-Traditional Practices for the 21st-century 
(deadline: February 25, 2020)

 *****Submit your proposal now *****

Librarianship and libraries, through the eyes of the public, have consistently been viewed as a house of books and documents where librarians help their patrons with readers' advisory and directions. Though these elements of being a librarian exist, the stereotype of this is far from accurate. Today in 2020, Librarians perform a myriad of tasks in order to provide fluid functionality to academic, public and special collections libraries. These tasks create a multifaceted librarian where multi-departmental duties fall squarely on the shoulders of one librarian. This year’s LACUNY Institute will illustrate this multifaceted librarian to gain understanding and perspective of the reality of librarianship as we enter a new era of technology and digital scholarship.

The underlying question LACUNY Institute 2020 aims to address is what role do 21st-century librarians and library support staff play in our society? Although perceptions about librarians have changed over time, librarian stereotypes still persist. This is the case even in popular culture. For instance, Barbara Gordon, Batgirl’s alter-ego, is a librarian with a doctoral degree, yet it is often speculated that the character’s role as an information professional is part of the character’s effort to conceal her identity by working in a safe, slow-paced environment. 

Librarianship is a multifaceted and creative profession. This year’s conference will highlight the different roles that librarians play in our society as librarians wear different hats. We are mentors, supervisors, activists, instructors, unofficial guidance counselors, gamers, artists, and so forth. In some instances, we may even be the “cool” professor on campus. 

Paper and Panel Proposals

We are collecting individual papers and panel topic proposals pertinent to the personal and professional experience of information professionals and staff that address but are not limited to the following areas:

• ​Activism within and outside the library
• The roles of non-librarians or non-information professionals within the profession   
• Partnerships between libraries and communities   
• (In)Visibility of non-librarian and part-time workers
• How our unique experiences and/or biases influence cataloging, collection development, the hiring process, etc. 
• How information professionals bring creativity into the profession including classrooms, reference consultations, etc. 
• Multiple identities within the workplace 
• The changing role of the library and what library workers are doing to adapt
• Interdisciplinary nature of librarianship  
• Library as a place of refuge 
• Information professionals as artists

 *****Submit your proposal now *****

Please Note: Conference registration begins Monday, December 2, 2019.

Feel free to contact us should any questions or concerns arise.
