Call for Chapters:
Chapter proposals are invited to this volume, to be published by Rowman &
Littlefield as part of the ALISE Book Series. The book will be edited by Heidi
Julien (University at Buffalo), and Melissa Gross and Don Latham (Florida
State University). The book’s working title is “The Information Literacy
Framework: Case Studies of Successful Implementation.” It is intended to help
demystify how to incorporate ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for
Higher Education into information literacy instruction in higher education as
well as how to teach the new Framework to pre-service librarians as part of
their professional preparation. The book will bring together current case
studies from academic librarians who are implementing the Framework for
Information Literacy for Higher Education as well as cases from Library and
Information Science faculty, who are working to prepare their pre-service
students to practice in the new instructional environment. Individual chapters
will describe how a library is implementing the Framework, or how the
Framework is being taught to pre-service librarians. Chapters will focus on
successes, while acknowledging challenges. Authors are expected to be
reflective and tie their narratives to existing literature and to theory.
Instructional librarians, administrators, educators, and students will benefit
from the experiences of the people on the ground who are actively working to
make the transition to the Framework in their professional practice.
Chapter proposals (approx. 500 words) are due August 1, 2018. Authors will be
notified by September 1, 2018 whether their proposal has been selected for
expansion to a full chapter. Full chapters will be about 5000 words in length,
and will be due March 1, 2019.
Send chapter proposals to: Heidi Julien (heidijul@buffalo.edu).
