I am writing a book tentatively entitled “Moving beyond the wow factor: the savvy librarian’s guide to technology innovation in academic libraries.” The book will be part of the LITA Guides series, published by Rowman and Littlefield. I plan to submit the manuscript by September 2017, and would be asking for completed case study drafts (approximately 750-1000 words) by June 2017. The book covers the following broad areas, and I would like to solicit case studies from all types of academic libraries that highlight practical approaches in addressing these issues, even if they were not successful:
- Overview of emerging technology trends in academic libraries
- Building a culture of innovation
- Developing a technology strategic plan
- Integrating technology into the classroom
- The role of technology outside the classroom (programming, events)
- Outreach and collaboration
- Outlining infrastructure and logistical support
- Determining the impact of these various activities
Please fill out the following form to indicate your interest and proposed case study by Friday, February 3rd and I will get back to you by February 24th with a decision and additional details regarding the process and timeline: https://goo.gl/forms/54WeG4UiyhcvchGc2
I would love to have you join me on this project, and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
