CFP: Libraries: Culture, History, and Society issue on Black women librarians

In Spring 2022, the Library History Round Table will devote volume 6, number 1 of Libraries: Culture, History, and Society, and significant space in LHRT News and Notes, to scholarship, book reviews, and blog posts on Black women librarians. This issue will be guest-edited by Dr. Nicole A. Cooke, the Augusta Baker Endowed Chair and Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina.


Dr. Cooke will accept proposals for scholarly articles and select 4-6 research studies for publication in LCHS. The publication is particularly interested in material on Black women librarians who have not yet been covered adequately by the scholarly or professional literature. Proposals concerning other pathbreaking librarians are also welcomed. To submit a proposal, please contact Dr. Cooke via this signup form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjEqFwlzqJ77p4ESJ5TLTQxJ84RVV0mogsLCXdKAxEukW_WQ/viewform) by Monday, November 16, 2020.
