CFP: Patron-Initiated Collection Development (special issue of Collection Management)
CFP: Patron-Initiated Collection Development (special issue of Collection Management)
Call For Papers: Special Issue of Collection Management
Patron-Initiated Collection Development: Current Successes and Future Directions
To be published in v. 35, no. 3/4 of Collection Management in 2010. Seeking article proposals from colleagues at all kinds of libraries (all sizes of academic libraries, public libraries, and international libraries) about patron-initiated collection development, such as:
● interlibrary loan book purchase programs
● experiences with allowing patron use or selection to drive acquisition of electronic books
● consortial collection development plans with strong patron-driven acquisitions elements
● other innovative patron-initiated selection activities for materials in a variety of formats
● implications for the future roles of collection librarians in an environment of increased user-driven Acquisitions
● user discovery of patron-initiated collection development plans
The editors are particularly interested in proposals for articles that will that include evaluation/assessment/analysis.
Background
The special issue editors are members of the team that published the following article:
Anderson, Kristine J., Robert S. Freeman, Jean-Pierre V. M. Herubel, Lawrence J. Mykytiuk, Judith M. Nixon, and Suzanne M. Ward. 2002. “Buy, Don’t Borrow: Bibliographers’ Analysis of
Academic Library Collection Development through Interlibrary Loan Requests.” Collection
Management, 27(3/4): 1-11.
This article analyzed six subject areas for books purchased instead of borrowed as the result of interlibrary loan requests in 2000-2001. Now that ILL book purchases have been standard procedure at the Purdue University Libraries for ten years, the authors and their colleagues will
analyze this decade’s worth of information to explore the following topics in a series of four articles:
● Revisit the initial study by comparing earlier findings with more recent data
● Analyze the ILL book purchase program in relation to scientific/technical/medical (STM) titles ● Conduct in-depth statistical analysis across a decade of data, looking at issues such as patron status, subject areas as indicated by call number, subsequent circulation, comparison with similar subject area books acquired through traditional means, etc.
● Position paper on new roles for collection librarians. As user-initiated collection development frees time and effort from traditional collection duties and responsibilities, how will academic librarians develop and nurture emerging objectives and prerogatives, e.g. teaching, research?
The accepted articles from colleagues at other institutions will complement the four listed above.
Deadlines
November 13, 2009: Submit an abstract (maximum of one page) with the title and your proposed article idea. Your full contact information may appear on a separate page, but please include your name, institution, and email address on the abstract page.
December 4, 2009: The editors will notify authors whether their proposals have been accepted.
February 28, 2010: Submit completed article (10-25 double spaced pages).
Please submit abstracts and address correspondence to Judy Nixon ( jnixon@purdue.edu) with this subject line: CM article proposal.

CFP: IFLA Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section Division of Collections and Services
CFP: IFLA Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section Division of Collections and Services 75th World Library and Information Congress, Milan, Italy, 23-27 August 2009
Session theme:
Serials in the 21st century: new concepts, new challenges
The IFLA Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section (SOCRS) invites librarians and other interested parties to submit proposals for papers for the 2-hour open session in Milan.
Electronic formats have altered traditional ways of acquiring, cataloging and managing library materials. The lines are blurring between e-books, e-journals, and article databases. The division of functions in Acquisitions, Cataloging and Collection Development, as well as Public Services, which have until now been based on the types of material (continuing resources vs. monographs), are becoming less clear. Almost all e-resources have a seriality aspect. Are e-books the new continuing resource?
If the work of managing and servicing e-resources is being done in serials units (whether Acquisitions or Cataloging), then who handles “new” serials such as e-books and where do they fit in? Should they be included in ERMs? What kind of training and communication is needed for efficient work with e-resources? How do libraries adapt to this paradigm shift?
We especially invite papers that address the following topics:
*Organizational models for work with e-resources. What works and what doesn’t?
*E-books from selection to access: some new approaches
*New challenges as new opportunities
Please send a detailed abstract in English (1 page or at least 300 words) of the proposed paper (which must not have been published elsewhere) and relevant biographical information of author(s)/presenter(s) by February 15th 2009 via e-mail to: Eva-Lisa Holm Granath, Secretary of SOCRS, e-mail: evaho@bibl.liu.se
The abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Serials and Other Continuing Resources Section´s Standing Committee. Successful proposals will be identified by March 8th 2009 Full papers will be due by May 1st 2009 to allow time for review of papers and preparation of translations. Papers should be no longer than 10-20 pages. 10-15 minutes will be allowed for a summary delivery of the paper during the Section's open session in Milan. We aim for a broader range coverage with slightly shorter presentations.
Please note that the expenses of attending the Milan conference will be the responsibility of the author(s)/presenter(s) of accepted papers, and at least one of the authors/presenters must be present for the program.

Call for Papers - Collection Management (peer-reviewed journal)
The first issue of the quarterly peer-review journal /Collection Management/ under the Editorship of ALCTS member Faye Chadwell is now off-press, and welcomes the submission of papers for review and possible publication. Ms. Chadwell is Head of Collection Development and Acquisition, Oregon State University. She has taken over the editorial reins from long-time editor, Ed Shreeves, Associate University Librarian and Director, Collections & Content Development at the University of Iowa Libraries.
Interested authors may correspond with the Editor for instructions for authors and upcoming deadlines by sending an email to faye.chadwell@oregonstate.edu.
According to Chadwell: "Nothing in my crystal ball suggests that libraries will not continue to collect materials in the coming years. What will change is the amount and availability of
resources, the type of materials, the method of acquisitions, and the ways in which collections are used.... Collection Management seeks well-researched, refereed articles and reviews that cover
an extensive range of pragmatic and theoretical topics."
The new issue includes articles on:
--"What's Next for Collection Management and Managers?"
--"Confirming Suspicions: An Analysis of Original Communication Studies Journal Price Data"
--"Citation Analysis of Graduate Dental These References: Implications for Collection Development"

Ms. Chadwell is Head of Collection Development and Acquisition, Oregon State University. She has taken over the editorial reins from long-time editor, Ed Shreeves, Associate University Librarian and Director, Collections & Content Development at the University of Iowa Libraries.
Interested authors may correspond with the Editor for instructions for authors and upcoming deadlines by sending an email to faye.chadwell@oregonstate.edu.
According to Chadwell: "Nothing in my crystal ball suggests that libraries will not continue to collect materials in the coming years. What will change is the amount and availability of
resources, the type of materials, the method of acquisitions, and the ways in which collections are used.... Collection Management seeks well-researched, refereed articles and reviews that cover
an extensive range of pragmatic and theoretical topics."
The new issue includes articles on:
--"What's Next for Collection Management and Managers?"
--"Confirming Suspicions: An Analysis of Original Communication Studies Journal Price Data"
--"Citation Analysis of Graduate Dental These References: Implications for Collection Development"
--"Future Reflections on the WorldCat Collection Analysis Tool"
--Book Reviews
Complimentary Copy

Collection Management is part of the 32-journal family of journals in library & information science within Haworth Press. Haworth, which publishes 200 peer review journals and 150 books per year, was acquired by Taylor & Francis in 2007.

CFP: Collection Management (Peer-Reviewed Journal)
Librarians working to manage and develop collections need a resource to keep pace with the constantly changing landscape of library collections and their management. The peer-reviewed journal, Collection Management , published by Haworth Press, serves as that resource for librarians and information specialists working in collection development and management, acquisitions, access services, and interlibrary loan, as well as special collections and archives.

Collection Management typically seeks to address recent developments related to creating and managing collections; sharing and providing access to resources; preserving both traditional and digital library resources; training and developing collections staff; managing and analyzing administrative data associated with building today's library collections; and usage, licensing, rights, access, and financial issues. Other topics regularly examined are:
-digital collection management
-management for special collections and archives
-data management concerns (i.e, ERM, GIS, metadata)
-risk and financial issues and strategies
-consortial and cooperative collections
-assessment tools and methods
-decision making in the face of access vs. ownership
-collection development focused on international and area studies
-the latest collection management tools
Manuscripts should be 20–50 typed pages, double-spaced (including references and abstract). Lengthier manuscripts may be considered if they can be divided across multiple journal issues. The references and format should follow the Chicago style (as outlined in the latest edition of The Chicago Manual of Style). Electronic submission is preferred.
