Call for Chapters: Gen-X perspectives on libraries and librarianship
This is a call for previously unpublished papers on Gen-X perspectives on libraries and librarianship, to go into an anthology co-edited by the wonderful Rebecca Tolley-Stokes of ETSU's Sherrod Library, who also edits TLA's journal *Tennessee Libraries*. It looks like they want submissions from all types of libraries and perspectives (academic, public, et cetera),
and they've given some suggested topics but appear to be open to others. Publishing and presenting can be make-or-break factors in the job search, as well as great ways to contribute to the life of the profession, and this looks like a really neat opportunity to get in on it. Only a short summary is needed for the proposal; you don't have to write the full paper unless it's accepted.

Y'all are welcome to holler at me to run interference with Rebecca for
questions, or you can contact her directly at the email given at this link.

Call for Papers for IFLA Milan 2009 - Onsite Session
Call for Papers for IFLA Milan 2009 - Onsite Session
CFP: Continuing Professional Development and Workplace Learning and New Professionals Discussion Group
Creating a Positive Work Environment for a Multi-generational Library and Information Workforce.
The IFLA Continuing Professional Development & Workplace Learning Section (CPDWL) and the New Professionals Discussion Group (NPDG) are facilitating this program session at the next IFLA World Library & Information Congress (23-27 August 2009, Milan, Italy)
This program session will focus on the generational challenges facing the library and information profession. These include attracting and retaining new professionals, developing leaders, managing across the generations, knowledge sharing and succession planning.
The session will include reports from the IFLA satellite conference organised by CPDWL and NPDG: “Moving In, Moving Up, and Moving On: Strategies for Regenerating the Library and Information Profession” (18-20 August 2009, Bologna, Italy)
The IFLA Continuing Professional Development and Workplace Learning Section and New Professionals Discussion Group is now seeking proposals from others to present as part of the program.
We are particularly interested in proposals which explore these topics:
What are the challenges involved in creating a positive work environment for a multi-generational workforce, and how best can we meet those challenges?
Do our organizational structures provide the best development opportunities for both new and existing professionals? If not, can we change them - and how?
Those interested in contributing to this program session should not be limited by those questions. Any proposal which addresses the broad themes of this program session is of interest and will be considered.
