CFP: Journal of Graduate Librarianship

Journal of Graduate Librarianship Call for Submissions 

The Journal of Graduate Librarianship (JGL) is now accepting submissions for our two 2024 issues. The summer issue will be our first Conference Round-Up, a collection of information about recent conference presentations pertaining to graduate librarianship (see Call for Conference Round-Up below). The fall issue will feature scholarly articles and reports on practice (see Call for Scholarly/Professional Manuscripts below, and consult our inaugural issue for examples of both article types).   

 

Call for Conference Round-Up: 

Did you give a conference presentation related to graduate librarianship during the 2023 calendar year? If so, we want to know about it, as do all the graduate librarians who weren’t in the (physical or virtual) room! Make your presentation(s), poster(s), and panel(s) more durable, discoverable, and impactful by submitting to JGL’s Conference Round-Up. There are two ways to contribute:
 

1. Just the facts: Fill out this brief form to share the basic facts about your 2023 conference presentation(s). If you gave multiple presentations relevant to graduate librarianship, you may list up to five. We’ll compile everyone’s information into a directory of sorts, which we hope will help forge connections among graduate librarians with similar interests. 

2. Tell us all about it: Submit a summary (500-750 words) of your conference presentation. If you gave multiple presentations in 2023 that were relevant to graduate librarianship, you may submit up to three summaries. Please aim to make your summary both informative and lively—this will help readers understand what you presented and inspire them to look at your presentation materials (e.g., slides, poster, handout), if provided. Each summary will be published as a small standalone article.

 All information about conference presentations must be submitted by Monday, March 18, 2024. Conference Round-Up will be published in Summer 2024 as Volume 1, Issue 2 of JGL. 

 

Call for Scholarly/Professional Manuscripts: 

JGL welcomes manuscripts on any aspect or type of graduate librarianship (i.e., librarianship that serves graduate students, graduate faculty, or graduate programs more generally). We especially seek manuscripts that exemplify the qualities contained in the acronym SHOP: Shared Honest Open Practice. Authors are encouraged to share their discoveries and/or experiences in a relatable way and are not required to refer to themselves in the third person.  

 

Authors may submit their manuscripts to either of these two sections: Articles (i.e., peer-reviewed scholarly articles) or Sharing Our Stories (i.e., editor-reviewed reports on practice). For more information about these sections, consult JGL’s policies page. 

 

Please review the submission guidelines before submitting. All manuscripts must be submitted by Monday, April 8, 2024 to be considered for inclusion in Volume 2, Issue 1, to be published in Fall 2024. 

 

What is JGL? 

The Journal of Graduate Librarianship is the first scholarly journal dedicated exclusively to matters pertaining to graduate librarianship. Published by East Tennessee State University, JGL is open access and charges no author-facing fees. Full information about JGL and its goals and policies are available on the journal website. 

 

Want to Learn More? 

JGL co-founders Wendy Doucette (Editor-in-Chief) and Jill Cirasella (Managing Editor) are hosting two informal Zoom conversations about the journal. Come chat with us and bring your questions! 

Friday, January 19, 2024, at 2-3pm Eastern Time (registration link)

The Reader’s Round-up Column is seeking additional reviewers to assess books and databases that fit one of two basic areas.  The first area (formerly Monographic Musings) is for works that cover librarianship, publishing and information management.  The second area (formerly Reference Reviews) focuses on books, ebooks and databases purchases for library collections.

CFP: "Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries," ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week, Metadata Interest Group session

Call for Proposals: "Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries," ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week, Metadata Interest Group session

The ALA Core Metadata Interest Group (MIG) seeks presentation proposals for its session on Metadata in Shared Digital Libraries during ALA Core Virtual Interest Group Week. The Metadata Interest Group session will take place on Monday, March 4, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

We invite you to submit proposals related to metadata in shared digital libraries.

Shared digital libraries provide metadata in a centrally available system, allowing users to search across collections from multiple institutions. Institutions benefit by extending the reach of their digital collections, but they also face challenges to ensure that contributed metadata is appropriate for the aggregating repository.

This session will consist of three 15-minute presentations related to metadata in shared digital libraries. We will have Q&A time after the presentations. Submissions from all institution types and contributors to any shared digital repository are welcome. ALA Core membership is not required to present at or attend Core IG Week programming.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Preparing metadata for harvesting

• Metadata interoperability

• Metadata application profile development

• Rights metadata

Please email your proposal using the subject line MIG proposal to the Interest Group’s Programming Co-chairs, Elisa Naquin (enaquin1@lsu.edu) and Kate James (jamesk@oclc.org) by Friday, January 26. The applicants will be notified of decisions by Friday, February 2nd. 

Your proposal should include the following:

The name, email, job title and affiliated institution of the presenter(s), the title of the presentation, and an abstract not to exceed 300 words.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kate or Elisa, Core MIG Programming Co-Chairs.

Call for Chapters: DEIA in Faith-Based HigherEd Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAMs)

Chapter submissions are welcome to be published in the forthcoming Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in Faith-Based Higher Education Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAMs), an edited volume to be published by Litwin Books.

Book Description

In light of the Library and Information Science (LIS) field’s ongoing challenges with racial equity, there is a pressing need to disrupt traditional paradigms and reimagine the discipline through critical frameworks like Critical Race Theory (CRT). This reimagining aligns with “a commitment to social justice and the eradication of racial and all forms of oppression” (Leung & López-McKnight, 2021, p. 18). Building on existing DEIA scholarship to address significant gaps examining critical race theory and faith-based library work, this volume seeks to expand upon the current body of DEIA scholarship by specifically addressing the intersection of critical theories and frameworks with the operations of faith-based higher education institutions’ GLAMs.

Recent scholarship has underscored several critical areas for exploration:

• The necessity for a dedicated forum where library workers in faith-based higher education can voice their experiences and insights.
• The tension between the implicit religious teachings at these institutions and their direct or indirect perpetuation of racial, gender, and sexual prejudices and inequalities.
• The scarcity of effective decolonization initiatives within faith-based institutions, particularly those with legacies of Black and Indigenous subjugation.

Aim of the Volume

This anthology aims to consolidate contributions from LIS scholars, practitioners, and organizations to critically assess the prevalence of white supremacy within LIS and propose strategies to dismantle racial oppression and inequalities within the field.

Call for Contributions

We invite submissions from professionals associated with GLAMs in faith-based higher education contexts. We are looking for:

• Empirical research
• Narrative accounts
• Practitioner-developed curricula
• Creative works that address DEIA efforts and their impact within LIS environments

Topics of Interest

We welcome proposals that are theoretically informed and empirically grounded, including but not limited to:

• DEIA initiatives and their outcomes in GLAM settings
• Experiences with DEIA assessment and implementation
• Creation and impact of DEIA statements, committees, or strategic plans
• Audits of DEIA in collections, facilities, and digital spaces
• Roles and reflections on DEIA-specific positions
• Projections for the future of DEIA in LIS GLAMs
• Other relevant themes

Collaborative Peer Feedback Process

In alignment with our dedication to collective scholarship, this project will incorporate a structured peer feedback mechanism. Contributors will participate in a transparent, community-driven review, providing critical yet supportive feedback on each other’s chapters, enriching the academic rigor and cohesion of the volume.

Submission Guidelines

• Research articles and narrative accounts should be between 6,000 to 9,000 words.
• Case studies, reflective essays, and creative contributions may be shorter.
• All submissions must adhere to the Library Juice Press Author Guidelines.

Abstract Submission

Submit a 250-500 word abstract outlining your proposed chapter by January 22, 2024

Important Dates

• Proposal Submission Deadline: January 22, 2024
• Acceptance Notification: February 19, 2024
• Full Chapter Submission Due: July 22, 2024
• Anticipated Publication: Spring 2025

Contact and Submission

Questions and completed proposals should be directed to the co-editors at editorsdeiaglams@gmail.com. Proposals can be submitted via the provided Google Form link: https://forms.gle/m3HCcnoRPTbsktyk7

We encourage you to distribute this call for papers within your professional networks.
