Call for Chapters: A Handbook for Trans and Gender Diverse Inclusion in Library Work #ACRL Publication

The editors of A Handbook for Trans and Gender Diverse Inclusion in Library Work (tentative title) invite chapter proposals. The book will be published by ACRL Publications, and will be an edited volume focusing on how library workers in different library types and across different services can concretely implement trans and gender diverse inclusion. It will highlight real-world case studies, research-based guidance, and recommended practices for how library workers can support trans and gender diverse people in the course of their many different jobs and duties to help library workers bridge the gap between meaning well toward trans people, and implementing trans and gender diverse inclusion in library work.

Proposals are due August 31, 2024. More information can be found on the book’s proposal page.

For those interested in submitting a proposal or learning more about the book, the editors will be holding two identical information sessions to introduce the project and to answer questions from potential authors. Information sessions will take place over Zoom and will not be recorded. Register to attend using this form.

• June 18, 4-5 PM EST
• June 20, 2-3 PM EST

If you are unable to attend an information session, want to run an idea by the editors before submitting your proposal, or have other questions, email the editors at tgdhandbook@gmail.com.
