CFP: Library Hi Tech News


As the editor of Library Hi Tech News, I  invite all librarians to consider writing an article for Library Hi Tech News (LHTN).     

LHTN focuses on practical or innovative uses of technologies in libraries and reaches a  global network of readers including tech-savvy librarians as well as to librarians in developing countries.   LHTN has moved to article level publishing, so as soon as your article is accepted, and goes through copy editing and proofs (usually one month), it is PUBLISHED online with a DOI that can be cited.   It will then be assigned to the next open issue (10 issues per year).   LHTN has a liberal open access policy known as Green Open Access, i.e. you or your library can archive your paper and extend its impact.  Downloads of articles continue to rise each year.

 LHTN can be an easy way to get started with publishing.   If you've presented a poster or unpublished paper at a local or national meeting, write it up as an article and extend greatly the number of librarians who will learn about the exciting things you are doing.    Find more information on LHTN at http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/journals.htm?id=lhtn
I hope you are interested!   Some ideas for papers are listed below which might also spark ideas of your own.   If you have any questions regarding this opportunity, please contact me at martyk@lscarletmail.rutgers.edu.    Please also note that manuscripts should be submitted online at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/lhtn.   I look forward to hearing from you!

  • LHTN’s Guide to the Best Mobile Apps on....... (this is an important service as you are creating a curated list)
  • Conference Reports
  • Makerspace Place (new technology for creativity and experimentation such as VR/AR,  miro computers such as Rasberry Pi and Arudino, as examples
  • Beyond the Walls (of the library).   Write about a unique outreach or engagement effort using technology
  • On the Move  (focus is on mobile services as one's smartphone is the new computer.   The newest mobile phones on the horizon will have dual screens that when opened up creates a tablet)
  • Next Gen and Age Tech (demands, training and other services for different age groups, such as millennials, seniors, families etc)
  • Disruption Eruption (how a technology is changing a library services, innovation from technology for staying relevant, new kinds of library positions defined in meeting a need)


Cheers!

Call for Chapters: forthcoming ACRL book Teaching About "Fake News": Lesson Plans for Different Disciplines and Audiences.

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Chapters are sought for the forthcoming ACRL book Teaching About "Fake News": Lesson Plans for Different Disciplines and Audiences.

The problem of "fake news" has captured the attention of administrators and instructors, resulting in a rising demand for librarians to help students learn how to find and evaluate news sources.  But we know that the phrase "fake news" is applied broadly, used to describe a myriad of media literacy issues such as misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and hoaxes. There's no way we can teach everything there is to know about "fake news" in a 50-minute one-shot library session.  What we can do is tailor our sessions to be relevant to the specific audience. For example, a psychology class may benefit from a session about cognitive biases, while an IT class might want to talk about the non-neutrality of algorithms.  Special populations such as non-traditional students or writing center tutors could also be considered.

Although the chapter may include how you teach the topic, the emphasis should be on the "why" behind fake news.  Why is it so prevalent? Why do people believe it?  Why does it matter? Successful proposals will select one narrow reason and explore it in-depth. The heart of the chapter should explore a particular issue; this is not intended to be an activity cookbook.

Chapter structure:

Each chapter of this book will be designated for a specific audience, discipline, or perspective, and be written by an author with expertise in that area.  In order to provide a foundation for the teaching librarian, it will discuss that specific aspect of fake news and be grounded in the established scholarship.  Next it will include a brief annotated list of accessible readings that could be assigned to participants ahead of a workshop when appropriate.  Authors will be asked to house a student-friendly PowerPoint version of their chapter in the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy Sandbox (https://sandbox.acrl.org/); the teaching librarian could use it as-is or modify it for the direct instruction portion of a session.  Finally, each chapter will include hands-on activities and discussion prompts that could be used in the actual workshop.

Final chapters will be 2,000-3,000 words in length.

Example chapter summary:
A chapter about the Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal would explore the scandal, written so that the teaching librarian would feel she had a good grasp of it.  She could then use the student-friendly PPT in her one-shot workshop, and use the provided active learning exercise.

Submission due dates:

Submit proposals at: https://forms.gle/FCPwykZuppDXCDFa9  by July 31,  2019
Notifications will be sent by September 1, 2019
Final chapters will be due by December 1, 2019

CFP: Residencies Revisited: Reflections on Library Residency Programs from the Past and Present @LibJuicePress


Call for Proposals
Residencies Revisited: Reflections on Library Residency Programs from the Past and Present
Publisher: Library Juice Press

About the Book
Many academic libraries across the country have developed and maintained library diversity residency programs in support of a larger campaign to diversify librarianship as a profession.  Library diversity residencies strive to provide early-career librarians of color with the experience and toolkit necessary to pursue a successful lifelong career in academic librarianship.

Beyond the residents themselves, there are various stakeholders involved in every residency program: residency coordinators, library administrators, and the professional organizations that back them. This book provides a space for the perspectives of all types of residency stakeholders to intersect, thereby producing a holistic narrative of library diversity residencies. The intended audience for this narrative is all academic librarians/administrators currently involved or interested in library diversity residency programs or generally interested in diversity initiatives. This work solicits the stories of past and present residents, coordinators, and policy-influencers, and then organizes their stories thematically, interweaving the commentary and analysis of the editors.

Questions to Explore
For present diversity residents:
       What are the demographics of your host institution?
       What was the advertised structure and purpose of your residency program?
       How does your residency program experience align with your initial expectations?
       From your perspective, what strengths and opportunities exist for the program at your institution?
       What impacts do you anticipate this residency might have on your career in librarianship?

For past diversity residents*:
        What were the demographics of your host institution at the time of your residency?
       What was the advertised structure and purpose of your residency program?
       How did your residency program experience align with your initial expectations?
       From your perspective, what strengths and opportunities exist for the program at your host institution?
       How do you feel your residency impacted your career trajectory?

For past and present diversity resident coordinators:
        When did you participate in a diversity residency program as coordinator?
        What motivating factors contributed to your institution’s decision to implement a residency program?
        If applicable, how did your identity inform your involvement in building/participating in residency programs?
        From your perspective, what strengths and opportunities exist for the program at your institution?

For diversity residency researchers or policy-influencers:
        What motivating factors contributed to your involvement in residency research or policy?
        What type of work have you done and/or are doing around diversity residencies?
        From your perspective, how have residencies impacted the landscape of librarianship since their inception in the 1990s?

*Please note that submissions are not limited to recent diversity residents. We welcome the perspectives of all past residents.

Examples of Chapter Topics
Chapters can and will span a variety of topics depending on the chapter contributors and their lived experiences. Contributors are strongly encouraged to be as candid as possible. We are particularly interested in narratives that highlight aspects of residencies that remain unexplored. While this is not a restrictive list, some examples for chapter topics include:
        Invisible/emotional labor
        How your identities impacted your experience (such as religion, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic class, disability)
        Coming into a diversity residency when librarianship is a second career
        Balancing personal obligations with participating in a residency program
        Juggling authenticity and professionalism
        Motivating factors for showcasing or hiding aspects of your identity

Healthy Habits: Cultivating a Culture of Health and Wellness in Libraries and Communities Online Conference - October 10, 2019

Healthy habits matter. Unfortunately, navigating accurate health information to develop and practice suitable healthy habits is often difficult.

Carson will kick off the conference with “Taking Care of Us: Ergonomic Advice for Library Staff,” teaching attendees how to de-stress at their desk, maintain proper posture, avoid injury, and regulate their emotions through breathing, stretching, and other techniques. 

Suggested health and wellness topics include experiences, programs, or services in the following areas:  

·         Aging 
·         Any of the 9 dimensions of wellness 
·         Burnout 
·         Community partnerships 
·         Fitness / exercise

Call for Chapters: Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Handbook for Academic Libraries

Call for Chapter Proposals

Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Handbook for Academic Libraries

Chapter proposals are requested for an edited volume titled Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Handbook for Academic Libraries, to be published by the Association of College and Research Libraries. Head editors are Brian Lym (Hunter College) and Corliss Lee (University of California, Berkeley), and co-editors are Jonathan Cain (University of Oregon), Tatiana Bryant (Adelphi University), and Kenneth Schlesinger (Lehman College).

We are seeking case studies, qualitative research studies, quantitative research studies, survey research studies, and other research-based solutions that can be implemented in today’s libraries. A more detailed outline appears below.

Proposals, including a 600-800 word abstract, should be submitted here: https://tinyurl.com/yyefwazv by August 19, 2019.  Notification of acceptance will occur by the end of September 2019.  Selected authors should expect to submit a full draft of their article no later than January
14, 2020.

Send questions to head editors Brian Lym (blym@hunter.cuny.edu) and Corliss Lee (clee@library.berkeley.edu).

Book Outline

The well-documented lack of diversity in the academic library workforce remains problematic, especially given growing expectations that the overall academic workforce be more representative of the increasingly diverse student bodies at our colleges and universities. That the lack of diversity
is especially notable among the professional ranks (librarians, library leadership, and administrators) is indicative of inequity of opportunities for people of color and “minoritized” ethnic groups.  Further, remediation of racial and ethnic diversity in the academic library workplace raises broader diversity issues, including individuals with identities outside the gender binary and other individuals who face discrimination due to their sexual orientation, disabilities, religious affiliation, military status, age, or other identities.

Emerging efforts to diversify the academic library workplace are pointedly raising issues of inclusion in libraries where demographic homogeneity has historically prevailed. With Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we hope to capture emerging research and practice that demonstrates ways academic libraries and librarians can work with and within their institutions to create a more equitable and representative workforce.

Part 1:  Leveraging and Deploying Systemic and Bureaucratic/Structural Solutions

Since colleges and universities are hierarchical and complex systems with centralized and bureaucratic controls that can effect or impede transformative change, academic library leaders need to leverage and deploy formal structures and administrative resources to achieve DEI excellence.

Themes:

  • Recruitment and Hiring
  • Retention and Advancement
  • Professional Development and Support
  • Assessment: Tracking DEI Progress


Part II:  Leveraging Collegial Networks, Politics, and Symbols:

Strengthening and Deepening Change for DEI Excellence
Acknowledging and deploying collegial networks, leveraging informal and formal political power, and symbolic resources to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion excellence in academic libraries.

Themes:

  • Navigating Collegial Networks and Normative Expectations
  • Leveraging the Politics of Organizational Behavior
  • (formal and informal power)
  • Reinforcing the Message:  Deploying Change Through Deployment of Symbolic Activities

CFP: CLA Fall 2019 Virtual Conference (October 17-18, 2019) - “Catholic Librarianship: Building a Culture of Encounter”

CLA Fall 2019 Virtual Conference - Submit Today!

 “Catholic Librarianship: Building a Culture of Encounter”

This virtual conference will be held online for two days in October 2019 (Thursday-Friday, October 17-18, 2019).

We strongly encourage proposal submissions from librarians active and working in all settings (academic, school, public, special, etc.), archivists, as well as MLIS graduate students, retired librarians or volunteer librarians in parishes or small school libraries. Speakers must be available on at least one of the dates listed above, and have the use of a computer with a camera and a microphone. Zoom software is the primary tool that will be used to conduct the conference, but ancillary tools can also be added (Prezi, Powerpoint slides, etc.) if desired. Instruction and support in the use of Zoom will be provided prior to the event.

This conference will examine the nature of librarianship itself, especially as it operates in this century – a period of continuing social, economic, and technical change. How do our traditional professional values, and indeed our faith, help us to achieve our goals, despite the disruptions in our culture? Do we have the courage, compassion, and indeed the tools to support the needs and wants of the people we work with and serve? Can we use our skills to counteract the current culture of indifference and polarization in order to work towards a culture of compassion, dialogue, helpfulness and fruitful encounter with others? What strategies for engagement and encounter have you witnessed or employed in your own work?

Proposals may address (but are not limited to) such topics as:

  • Using technology to create new kinds of meaningful encounters with patrons and colleagues
  • Maintaining authentic interaction with patrons when responsibilities have multiplied and time and energy are in short supply
  • Reclaiming our roles of guidance and accompaniment, which have been eroded by the false promise of Internet browsing
  • Using re-training of library staff (ex: rolling out a new ILS or service) as an opportunity to bring people together and strengthen bonds
  • Helping students who were raised in a digital age to appreciate and encounter the Word
  • Effectively employing interactive communication tools (chat, texting, social media, video conferencing, etc.) to humanize online classes
  • Encouraging students to read and go beyond sound bites and memes
  • Listening as a method to counterbalance polarization
  • Making Catholic materials more discoverable in online catalogs and other research tools
  • Developing collections that help your patrons encounter other worldviews
  • Modeling civility and encouraging dialogue while still evangelizing
  • Using the Catholic intellectual tradition as a way to encounter truths

Key Dates:

• Proposal Deadline: July 25, 2019
• Notification of Accepted Proposals: August 2, 2019
• Confirm schedule: August 30, 2019
• Zoom Training: First two weeks in September
• Conference Rehearsal: Last week of September 2019

If you have additional questions regarding proposals, contact the CLA Office at cla2@cathla.org or (225) 408-4417.
