CFP: Case Studies in Management and Finance in Academic Libraries (The Bottom Line)

CFP: Case Studies in Management and Finance in Academic Libraries (The Bottom Line)

The Bottom Line: Managing Library Finances is publishing a special issue of the journal on case studies in management and finance in academic libraries. We are especially looking for examples of reorganization, repositioning, and retraining of people and resources, as well as new initiatives and directions that required strategic thinking and risk taking in the areas of dropping traditional library roles and moving into new future digital environments (which may include
things like 3D information visualization, strategic collaborations across disciplines and organizations, etc.). If you think that you would be interested in submitting an article to this peer-reviewed special issue of this journal, please contact the editor directly (email given below). Any and all ideas for topics will be given consideration.

Article proposals will be accepted through February 1, 2007. Proposals need only include author name(s) and contact information, and a brief paragraph stating what the article will be about.

Deadline for completion of articles will be no later than May 1, 2007.
