CFP: Academic Brass #BusnessLibrarianship

The Business Reference in Academic Libraries Committee of BRASS is seeking articles for the next issue of its online publication, Academic BRASS.

Academic BRASS is a newsletter--not a journal--that publishes issue-based articles and information for the general and educational interest of BRASS members and academic business librarians.

Topics of interest to the editors are those dealing with business librarianship, such as resources, liaison and outreach activities, strategies, and instruction. Reviews of books, databases, and websites are welcome as well. Maybe you have another cool idea - that's fine too - get those submissions in!

*Deadline for submissions for the upcoming issue is November 7, 2025 (Friday).*

You may want to see previous editions. For access to the full text articles of past issues of Academic BRASS, see http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass

The typical length of an Academic BRASS article is 500-800 words, but past articles have been as long as 1,000 words or more. Authors should be guided by what they have to say rather than by an arbitrary word length. All articles are subject to editing for length, style, and content, and there is a template on the "About Academic BRASS" page (www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/...) that provides formatting guidance. The newsletter follows the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th edition, for all matters of style and citation. Authors whose articles include references to print or Internet resources are urged to observe the conventions set forth in that publication and on the APA website (http://www.apastyle.org/).

Regarding AI in writing, we added one more guideline this fall: The use of generative AI tools must be fully disclosed in accordance with APA Journals policy on generative AI: Additional guidance. Articles must be authored and co-authored by humans; AI tools may only be used to support the author's own ideation, critical thinking, and creative processes.

Please send article proposals or submissions to all of the editors, Henry Huang (yh4041@nyu.edu), Judy Opdahl (jopdahl@csusm.edu), Mary Carter (mary.carter@princeton.edu), Josh Herrington (Joshua.Herrington@colorado.edu), and Kelly LaVoice (Kelly.lavoice@vanderbilt.edu).

Best,

Henry
