Reviews of books, databases, and web sites are <br />welcome as well. Maybe you have another cool idea - that's fine too - get those submissions in!<br /><br />*Deadline for submissions for the upcoming issue is April 26, 2024.*<br /><br />You may want to see previous editions. For access to the full text articles of past issues of Academic BRASS, see <a href="http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass">http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass</a><br /><br />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 an arbitrary word length. All articles are subject to editing for length, style, and content, and there is a<br />template on the "About Academic BRASS" page (<br /><a href="https://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass/about">https://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass/about</a>) 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 (<a href="http://www.apastyle.org/">http://www.apastyle.org/</a>).<br /><br />Please send article proposals or submissions to all of the editors Tim Tully (<a href="mailto:ttully@sdsu.edu">ttully@sdsu.edu</a>) and Katie Hut (<a href="mailto:khut@american.edu">khut@american.edu</a>).<br /><br />*Tim Tully*<br />Pronouns: he/him/his<br />Business Librarian<br />*University Library*<br /><br /><a href="mailto:ttully@sdsu.edu">ttully@sdsu.edu</a><br />O: 619-594-2009</span></div>Corey Seemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16023692631366184149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480136.post-27644774302414662092024-03-05T14:12:00.002-05:002024-03-05T14:12:27.336-05:00Call for Chapters: Trends and Innovations concerning Library & Information Science: A Multidisciplinary Approach<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scholars, Researchers, Professors, and Practitioners, we are seeking informative and trending chapter proposals for an upcoming book titled</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trends and Innovations concerning Library & Information Science: A Multidisciplinary Approach.</i></p><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The book explores current and emerging issues, challenges, opportunities, and best practices in library and information science from various perspectives and disciplines.</li><li>The book will cover topics such as Library science, Information science, ChatGPT, AI, Intelligent Systems, Open Access, Security, Data management, Health Information Management, VR, Surveys, and more</li><li>The book will be published by De Gruyter Publishers, a reputable academic publisher with a global reach and impact located in Germany and the United States.</li><li>The deadline for submitting chapter proposals is April 30, 2024.

How have libraries responded to these evolving technologies to better support their communities? It's been over a year since generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Dall-E have been introduced in public spaces and consciousness, but AI has been around long before these tools yet there are still lingering concerns, challenges, and considerations. Join us for this free virtual conference to learn how libraries and library workers are engaging with artificial intelligence tools in their libraries from research support to information literacy to technical services. The conversations held in the conference will address the practical implications of these tools in the profession.</blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our special conference chair is Dr. Raymond Pun, the Academic and Research Librarian at Alder Graduate School of Education, and the Immediate Past President of the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) and a Past President of the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA).</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We look forward to gathering online with you for this event!</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>REGISTRATION:</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><strong>This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded.</strong><br /><strong><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://library20.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Dbf8826a75ddf212559c711f65%26id%3Dbc33831e62%26e%3D303c8edd40&source=gmail&ust=1706970205654000&usg=AOvVaw3oMrigrKoGgzf8agQpUUe0" href="https://library20.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf8826a75ddf212559c711f65&id=bc33831e62&e=303c8edd40" rel="noopener" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">REGISTER HERE</a></strong><br />to attend live and/or to receive the recording links afterward.<br />Please also join the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://library20.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3Dbf8826a75ddf212559c711f65%26id%3Db86249a16b%26e%3D303c8edd40&source=gmail&ust=1706970205654000&usg=AOvVaw0If0FpZyp8sk3qU7taweOs" href="https://library20.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bf8826a75ddf212559c711f65&id=b86249a16b&e=303c8edd40" rel="noopener" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Library 2.0 community</a> to be kept updated on this and future events. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Everyone is invited to participate in our Library 2.0 conference events, which are designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among information professionals worldwide.

AI is currently the hot topic making the headline news, but it’s a huge topic encompassing everything from devices and hardware to software and systems.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In a library environment where resources are limited and expenditure comes under increasing scrutiny, we must constantly review our practices and resources. We regularly consider revising or even replacing them completely. Change requires transition, such as migrating to a new library management system; a new reading list tool or installing / updating new security features such as RFID.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">How are we embracing new technologies to support our roles and the service we provide to our students and the institution?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">NAG’s 14th edition of the highly successful Collection Development seminar takes place at the Friends House, 173-177 Euston Rd, London NW1 2BJ, on Thursday 16th May 2024.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">For this edition, the topic is “Rise of the Machines.” NAG invites papers from those that can share knowledge, best practice, experiences and reflections around the impact of technology.

For those interested in the details, it can be difficult or time-consuming to find information about a particular project. What resources were required to embed videos within an open-access textbook? What roles do library publishers play in the acquisition, creation, and dissemination of content? What strategies have helped ensure the long-term success of a journal? How do individual members of a team contribute, and how are those contributions acknowledged? Our community is curious and eager to learn from each other, and <em>Case Studies in Library Publishing (CSLP) </em>will create dedicated space to do so in an annual publication. </span></p><p id="nj1spoqrt6p"><span style="font-family: arial;">The mission of <em>CSLP </em>is to provide concrete project examples to inspire and support those involved with library publishing as we ground and grow our work. We seek contributions that exemplify capacious perspectives on “publishing” aligned with the Library Publishing Coalition’s working definition of “the set activities led by libraries to support the creation, dissemination, and curation of scholarly, creative, and/or educational works.” While we acknowledge that it is often academic libraries and consortia with the resources to undertake publishing initiatives, we will strive to include contributions from public and special libraries, as well as independent publishing initiatives.</span></p><p></p><p id="ntjmu7w1b53"></p><p></p><p id="nrye1ehii8q"><span style="font-family: arial;">Each article published in<em> CSLP</em> will describe a specific publishing project, delving into workflow, goals, resources, and ultimate impact. Articles will include a summary of the project, links to view the project, and key takeaways for readers, with space for authors to add additional discussion and reflection. The primary output of <em>CSLP </em>will be case studies, with potential to include reviews in the future. Submissions may focus on incomplete or ongoing projects; where possible, we encourage authors to share what has not worked or lessons learned that might inform others’ projects. We recognize the importance of formal research in library publishing, but believe that need is suitably filled by existing publications (such as the <em>Journal of Librarianship in Scholarly Communication</em>, the <em>Journal of Scholarly Publishing</em>, and others). By providing a structured format to consider project workflow and outcomes, <em>CSLP </em>will support the research of the library publishing community as well as the everyday work that we do. </span></p></blockquote><p id="nrye1ehii8q"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p>Corey Seemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16023692631366184149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480136.post-81169630035328695842024-01-10T05:39:00.004-05:002024-01-10T05:39:44.893-05:00CFP: Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (Core Interest Group Week - Virtual - March 8th, 2024)<p><span style="font-size: 13pt; text-decoration-line: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Call for Presenters!</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">CORE Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) invites speakers</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> to present as part of the CORE Virtual Interest Group Week on </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Friday, March 8, 2024 from 10-11 Central / 11-Noon Eastern. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We welcome presentation proposals from any technical services setting and from any level of experience or position.

This reimagining aligns with “a commitment to social justice and the eradication of racial and all forms of oppression” (Leung & López-McKnight, 2021, p. 18). Building on existing DEIA scholarship to address significant gaps examining critical race theory and faith-based library work, this volume seeks to expand upon the current body of DEIA scholarship by specifically addressing the intersection of critical theories and frameworks with the operations of faith-based higher education institutions’ GLAMs.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Recent scholarship has underscored several critical areas for exploration:</span></p><ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The necessity for a dedicated forum where library workers in faith-based higher education can voice their experiences and insights.</span></li><li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The tension between the implicit religious teachings at these institutions and their direct or indirect perpetuation of racial, gender, and sexual prejudices and inequalities.</span></li><li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The scarcity of effective decolonization initiatives within faith-based institutions, particularly those with legacies of Black and Indigenous subjugation.</span></li></ul><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Aim of the Volume</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This anthology aims to consolidate contributions from LIS scholars, practitioners, and organizations to critically assess the prevalence of white supremacy within LIS and propose strategies to dismantle racial oppression and inequalities within the field.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Call for Contributions</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We invite submissions from professionals associated with GLAMs in faith-based higher education contexts.
