2nd Call For Chapters - Advances in Librarianship: Re-Envisioning the MLS: Perspectives on the Future of LIS Education

Re-Envisioning the MLS: Perspectives on the Future of Library and Information Science Education

Edited by Lindsay C. Sarin, Johnna Percell, Paul T. Jaeger, & John Carlo Bertot.

The last several years have been marked by a number of societal challenges and changes that include, but are not limited to, the evolving nature of our economy; the workforce skills needed to succeed in a shifting job market; advances in technology; the changing nature of information and the methods of accessing it; transformations in education and learning approaches; and rapid demographic shifts occurring in our communities. Libraries are not immune to these challenges, and there is much discussion regarding the future of libraries among library professionals, in the media, and by politicians. As we consider the future of libraries, we need to simultaneously focus on the future of librarians – and how our instructional programs in general and the Master of Library Science (MLS) degree (and its variants) programs – prepare them for their careers.

Taking inspiration from the University of Maryland’s iSchool and the Information Policy & Access Center’s (iPAC) Re-Envisioning the MLS initiative, this book seeks chapters on topics that include, but are not limited to:

• The extent to which the MLS/MLIS degree is necessary or not necessary;
• The changing nature of the communities that libraries serve and how LIS education has (or has not) addressed these changes;
• Librarian values;
• Qualities and qualifications necessary for effective LIS educators;
• Qualities and qualifications necessary for future librarians/LIS students;
• Aspects of the MLS/MLIS degree we need to maintain and/or those we need to let go;
• Career paths for LIS grads (e.g. pathways outside of libraries);
• The relevance of ALA accreditation and/or a discussion of the accreditation process; and
• The impact of iSchools on MLS/MLIS education.

The book welcomes chapters that include case studies, empirical studies, and best practices from around the world. Please direct questions and submissions to: advancesLISeducation@gmail.com

Important Dates:

• June 6, 2016: Submission of 750-1,000 word chapter proposal
• July 8, 2016: Notification of chapter acceptance to authors
• October 1, 2016: Draft chapter due
• November 1, 2016: Final chapters due
• Summer 2017: Estimated publication date

CFP: Chapters/Essays on Best Practices or Resources supporting APA communities, or Perspectives from APA Librarians

We are looking for essays for this exciting new book! This edited volume is tentatively titled Asian Pacific American Librarians and Library Services Today (in contract with Rowman & Littlefield.) The book will bring together contributions from librarians who are of Asian and Pacific (APA) heritage and their work experiences, and librarians who support APA communities and their best practices in the United States.

For consideration, please submit an abstract proposal no more than 150 words (1-2 paragraphs) and a brief professional bio to APAlibrarianship@gmail.com by June 15, 2016. The book is scheduled to come out in 2017. We are seeking abstract proposals that address the topics below.

To start this discussion, this edited volume explores ways that libraries and librarians support APA communities through services and resources.

• Who are the APA communities that these libraries serve? 
• What do these APA communities need from their libraries? 
• How do libraries serve these communities? 

We approach these questions by considering the diversity of APA communities thriving in the US, the different kinds of libraries and archives (academic, public, school, special), their functions in relation to these APA communities, and the successes and challenges of these efforts. The volume would conclude with a discussion of what's ahead for serving the needs of the diverse and vibrant APA communities in the US.

In this volume, APA is defined broadly: heritage from East, Southeast, and South Asia, and Pacific Islands including Hawaiians. The book will aim to cover and provide resources to support different APA communities: from Hmong, Laotian, Burmese to Chinese, Japanese, Nepalese, Bengali communities, etc., and in the contexts of language, religious, cultural and social diversities. We will also include experiences about APA librarians with mixed heritages and adoption experiences.

The following is a list of sections that will be included:

Section 1: Who is the APA community and what do these communities need from their libraries? Several chapters covering case studies of the diversity of communities we serve, layered by different types of library settings (academic, public, school, special).

Academic

• Information literacy
• International students 
• Campus engagement
• Staffing and Retention
• Celebration of APA heritage and other cultural programming 
• Collections Building

Public

• language resources, community center, ESL resources, children's programming, etc. 
• Outreach and advocacy. 
• Staffing and Retention. 
• Collections Building
• Celebration of APA heritage, other cultural programming (Lunar New Year events, etc.)

School

• Children's programming
• Staffing
• Collections Building
• Celebration of APA heritage and other cultural programming

Special

• Health/Medical resources and services
• Government and Legal resources and services 
• Museum/NGO Digital Collections 
• Underserved or emerging sectors: adoptees, elderly, at-risk youths and new immigrants
• Celebration of APA heritage
• Archives of culture and history (oral histories, digital archives, curation of history and heritage, etc.

Section 2: Current issues/Gaps/Challenges ahead.

• Recruitment/retention/mentorship (best practices, systemic problems, library school student perspective-recent grad).
• Sustained structural integration of diversity in collections, resources, services, programming.
• Ongoing assessment of communities' needs/agility to meet evolving needs.
• Cultivating APA library leaders (on social justice, diversity, inclusion, impacting the profession).
• Strengthening professional networks with strategic partnerships (ethnic caucuses, other partners in ALA--SRRT, IRRT, IFLA, JCLC, LBGTRT, etc.).

The volume will be edited by Janet H. Clarke (Stony Brook University), Raymond Pun (Fresno State), and Monnee Tong (San Diego Public Library).

CFP: Reference Librarianship & Justice: History, Practice & Praxis

Call for Proposals: Reference Librarianship & Justice: History, Practice & Praxis

Edited by Kate Adler, Ian Beilin & Eamon Tewell

Library Juice Press, Fall 2017

Reference work often receives short shrift in the contemporary discourse and practice of librarianship. Conversations that concern critical pedagogy, social justice, and theory tend to revolve around instruction or cataloging practice. Moreover, reference librarians and reference services themselves seem to be disappearing. Reference Librarianship & Justice: History, Practice & Praxis seeks to stake out a space and make a passionate case for reference work in a manner that is historically, socially and politically compelling. It will highlight the unique position of reference librarianship, a liminal and dialectical space, potentially distinct from the power dynamics of classroom instruction and singular in its mission and practice. At heart, reference is a conversation and partnership. The stakes are significant, not only because of the unique potential for social justice work but because of the risk that the profession is now overlooking reference’s central importance.

To read more and submit a proposal please visit our homepage at Library Juice Press.

Questions can be sent to ReferenceAndJusticeBook@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you!

Kate, Eamon & Ian

Call for Presentations on the Engagement between Discovery and the Catalog (within Reference Services) - ALA Annual - Orlando

WHAT: 10-minute Presentations at the Reference Services Section (RSS) Discovery Services Committee Discussion Forum

THEME: Exploring Engagement between Discovery and the Catalog.

WHEN: 2016 ALA Conference in Orlando on Sunday, June 26th, from 3-4 pm.

MORE INFO: For the forum 30 minutes will be reserved for the speakers followed by Q&A and roundtable discussions. Each table will discuss their ideas related to the talks and their reasons and strategies for continuing to rely or not rely on the separate catalog, even though the catalog may be part of a discovery platform.

This discussion forum will consider why, despite the discovery platforms' ability to provide a massive search of library resources, including the library catalog, the catalog still remains as a web presence among most libraries. When librarians offer assistance to their users, there are many who may default to the Library Catalog. This discussion forum aims to explore the various engagements between discovery layers and the traditional library catalog within reference services.

HOW TO APPLY: Please submit the following information:

• Title of presentation
• Name, position or title, and email address of the presenter.
• Proposal description (250 words or less)

Please e-mail proposals to the Committee:
