CFP: CARLDIG-S 2016 Fall Program: “Telling Our Stories with Assessment: From Nuance to Hard Data” (Los Angeles, California - December 2016)

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CARLDIG-South is hosting its annual fall program at the University of Southern California’s Doheny Memorial Library Friday, December 2, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Titled “Telling Our Stories with Assessment: From Nuance to Hard Data,” this program will offer an opportunity for reference librarians to highlight and share their innovative engagement with assessing reference services at their libraries, whether through formal quantitative assessment, or an alternative approach to telling the library’s story. The deadline to submit a proposal is September 23, 2016.

Assessment of reference services is an essential part of demonstrating value and ensuring the needs of our library users are being met. How is your library assessing reference services? How are you taking what you have learned through assessment and communicating it with your stakeholders or the profession at large? Has your assessment work impacted or facilitated meaningful change? Tell us about it!

While these are some of the questions we have been asking, we know you have been hard at work on assessment projects that tackle this topic from unique angles we have not thought of, and we would love to hear from you!

Some Suggested Topics to Get You Thinking:

  *   Applications/case studies for innovative qualitative assessment models
  *   Applications/case studies for innovative quantitative assessment models
  *   Assessing the “je ne sais quoi” of reference: customer service, reference interviews, etc.
  *   Alternative forms of assessment, such as collaboration with faculty
  *   Interactive assessments to support formative assessment practices


You are by no means limited to these suggestions!

The selection committee invites proposals for the following formats relevant to the theme of reference assessment:


  1.  Feature Presentation (20 minutes plus five minutes for questions)
  2.  Poster Session (30 minutes)


Feature presenters will also have the option to participate in a moderated panel discussion, and will have access to an Internet-equipped computer and a projector.

Brief Guidelines for Proposals:

  *   Please submit your proposal online HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10E-odaeadCeM-h6rmzsD7pRXZyRDj6z3zj7QkCsHeng/viewform?edit_requested=true
  *   Proposals should be no longer than 500 words
  *   Deadline to submit is September 23, 2016
  *   Accepted presentations will be confirmed by October 3, 2016

Interested in seeing your name in print? Want to add another line to your CV?
Have something to share with other business librarians?

The Business Reference in Academic Libraries Committee of BRASS is seeking articles for the next issue of its online publication Academic BRASS. Academic BRASS is a newsletter--not a journal--that publishes issue-based articles and information for the general and educational interest of BRASS members and academic business librarians.

Topics of interest to the editors are those dealing with business librarianship, such as resources, liaison and outreach activities, strategies, and instruction. Reviews of books, databases, and web sites are welcome as well.

Maybe you have another cool idea - that's fine too - get those submissions in!
Deadline for submissions for the upcoming issue is October 24, 2016.

You may want to see previous editions. For access to the full text articles of past issues of Academic BRASS, see http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/brass/publications/academicbrass

The typical length of an Academic BRASS article is 500-800 words, but past articles have been as long as 1,000 words or more. Authors should be guided by what they have to say rather than an arbitrary word length. All articles are subject to editing for length, style, and content. The newsletter follows the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition for all matters of style and citation. Authors whose articles include references to print or Internet resources are urged to observe the conventions set forth in that publication and on the APA web site (http://www.apastyle.org/).

Please send article proposals or submissions to both of the editors, Karen Chapman at kchapman@bruno.cba.ua.edu and Janet Franks at janet.franks@saintleo.edu. If you have any questions, please query Karen Chapman.

Share your stories and your insight as we discuss where teaching, learning, and technology converge.

Submission are encouraged that tie to the theme, our mission, or, any of our ELDc17 Keywords

ELDc17 Submission Timeline

CFP: Pushing the Margins: Women of Color and Intersectionality in LIS (Library Juice Press)

CFP: Pushing the Margins: Women of Color and Intersectionality in LIS

Editors: Rose L. Chou and Annie Pho

Literature on diversity in librarianship has mainly focused on recruitment and increasing numbers of librarians of color. This book shifts the focus beyond numbers and instead on the lived experiences of those who are underrepresented in our profession. Using intersectionality as a framework, this edited collection explores the experiences of women of color in libraries. With roots in black feminism and critical race theory, intersectionality studies the ways in which multiple social and cultural identities impact individual experience. Looking at race and gender isolated from each other fails to see the many dimensions in which they intersect and overlap, creating a complicated lived experience that cannot be captured by studying one identity.

Libraries and librarians idealistically portray themselves as egalitarian and neutral entities that provide information equally to everyone, yet the library as an institution often reflects and perpetuates societal racism, sexism, and additional forms of oppression. Women of color who work in libraries are often placed in the position of balancing the ideal of the library providing good customer service and being an unbiased environment with the lived reality of receiving microaggressions and other forms of harassment on a daily basis from both colleagues and patrons.

Typically these conversations and discussions of our experiences as women of color have happened behind closed doors, within trusted circles of friends. Our hope and intention is that by bringing these conversations into a public space, we will raise consciousness of these experiences and start changing perceptions and expectations.

Proposals may consider the following themes and questions:

• Invisible and emotional labor
• Intersections of multiple identities, such as sexuality, gender identity, and socioeconomic class
• Leadership, management, promotion, and authority
• Gender presentation and performance
• Treatment of women of color library workers who are either not in librarian positions or do not have a library degree
• Experiences of women of color as library patrons
• How identity affects approaches to collection development
• How does structural oppression reproduce itself in spaces that are touted to be egalitarian and democratic?
• How does one maintain respect in the library when confronted with oppressive treatment or being stereotyped based on one’s race, gender, or other social categories?
• How can library organizations create better work cultures and environments for staff and patrons to exist as their true selves?

This is not an exhaustive list. Proposals are welcome from anyone involved in libraries, archives, and information science. Contributions from people of color, those who belong to communities underrepresented in LIS, and those who work in school and public libraries are strongly encouraged. Essays that are straightforward scholarship are invited and welcome, as are more hybrid or creative approaches that incorporate scholarly writing with personal narrative, illustrations, graphics, or other strategies consistent with feminist and antiracist methodologies.

This collection will contain papers and essays of approximately 2000 – 5000 words. Proposals should include an abstract of no more than 500 words describing the proposed contribution and a short biographical statement. Send proposals topushingthemargins@gmail.com by October 28, 2016.

Notifications will be sent by November 4, 2016. First drafts of manuscripts will be due May 31, 2017. Editing and revision will occur June-December 2017, with an anticipated publication date of Spring 2018.

This book is forthcoming in the Litwin Books/Library Juice Press Series on Critical Race Studies and Multiculturalism in LIS, Rose L. Chou and Annie Pho, series editors.
