Call for Book Chapter Proposals in Library Assessment  

(For a PDF version of this announcement, please click here).

We are seeking chapter proposals for a book on library assessment. Please consider sharing your work in this area to this effort.

Working Title – Academic Libraries and the Academy: Strategies and Approaches to Demonstrate Your Value, Impact, and Return on Investment

Publisher

This book will be published under the auspices of ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries). The anticipated publication date is early 2018.

Introduction

Assessment in academic libraries will play an increasingly crucial role in higher education. With the demand for greater transparency and accountability in funding for institutions, diminished budgets, and a shift to performance-based funding, academic libraries are examining and implementing new and creative approaches to demonstrate their inherent, immediate and long term value and impact to their institutions and stakeholders. Academic libraries of all shapes and sizes are understanding the need to establish their place and role in supporting institutional goals and objectives particularly related to student learning outcomes, academic student success measures, and faculty teaching and research productivity. To this end, many academic libraries are investing in efforts focused on implementing assessment initiatives that demonstrate their value and impact to their institutional stakeholders and community.

Objective

This book will present cases of how academic libraries are successfully implementing initiatives to demonstrate their worth and value to their institutional and community stakeholders. The cases will include proven strategies, lessons learned, effective approaches and practical applications successfully employed by academic staff and support professionals. The publication is intended to inform those at all levels of experience and stages of implementation— that is, those who are considering or just beginning to embark on this path, as well as others who have already taken the plunge and are looking to leverage or triangulate other strategies.

Target Audience

This publication will primarily target librarians, professional staff and administrators at all types of academic libraries, and we anticipate it will also be of interest to others across disciplines and industries who are engaged in similar assessment initiatives. It will present practical, easy-to-adopt strategies and approaches based on case studies, and will offer a breadth and depth of options to appeal to a wide range of readers at various stages of experience with demonstrating library value — from beginners to experts.

Proposed Book Sections

This book will be structured in four sections of case studies as described below:

Section 1: Seeding the Initiative. Explores the planning stages or “works-in-progress” in assessment that relate to the library’s impact and value. The results of these efforts may not be imminent. Nevertheless, these case studies demonstrate the potential value and the importance of the initial design and planning stage.   

Section 2: Low-Hanging Fruit.  Provides stories of assessments that are easy to measure, short-term (less than one year), low cost, require few resources (staff or tools), and are easily replicable at similar academic libraries.

Example: ROI spreadsheets at the University of West Florida

Section 3: Reachable Fruit (with some effort).  Provides stories of assessments that may require more external and internal resources to measure, may take more than six months to one year to collect and analyze, feature medium costs and resources (i.e., incentives, equipment, tools), and may be replicable at other academic libraries that are similar in size or scope.

Example: Contingent valuation measures

Section 4: Hard-to-Reach Fruit. A range of assessment activities more difficult to measure and time and resource intensive, may require long-term data collection (e.g. longitudinal studies that require more than a year to collect a dataset or have measures that require more time, such as measuring a cohort’s graduation rates), and feature greater external partnerships, internal infrastructure, and/or additional resources to measure and analyze.

Examples: The Library Cube (which required the creation of a relational database), and Mixed-method Ethnographies, such as the ERIAL Project. (Ethnographic qualitative studies require more time to transcribe and analyze.)

Chapter proposals should focus on a topic that is related to one of the four sections listed above. Authors are also welcome to propose additional topics or sections that may be relevant to this publication.

Submission Procedure

Authors are invited to submit a chapter proposal as an email attachment in Word or PDF to academiclibrariesandtheacademy@gmail.com on or before Monday, January 09, 2017. The chapter proposal should be 300-500 words clearly explaining the intent and details of the proposed chapter as it relates to one of the four sections of the book described above. Authors will be notified by Monday, February 27, 2017 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Completed chapters are expected to be between 3,000-5,000 words, although shorter or longer chapters are negotiable. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by Tuesday, May 29, 2017.

Proposals should include:

  • Author name(s), institutional or organizational affiliation, job title/role
  • Brief author(s) bio
  • Proposed chapter title
  • A summary of the proposed chapter (300-500 words)

 

Proposed chapters should be based on unpublished work, unique to this publication and not submitted or intended to be simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

2017 ACRL-NEC Annual Conference

Posted on November 2, 2016 | Leave a comment
The Association of College and Research Libraries, New England Chapter (http://www.acrlnec.org/)
invites you to submit a proposal to present at the 2017 ACRL-NEC Annual Conference
Reframing Librarianship in the 21st Century
Friday, May 12 @University of Vermont Conference Center, Burlington, VT.  
It is an era of reinvention for college and research libraries. Whether we work in cataloging and metadata, scholarly communication, archives, public services, instruction, or another area of librarianship, we have all heard a rhetoric of crisis, transformation, and rapid change applied to our work. The challenges we face have provided an opportunity to refocus on the foundations of our profession: our purpose and our areas of expertise. In reflecting on and redefining our work and ourselves, we are reframing librarianship for the 21st Century. This exciting topic will be kicked off by keynote Suzanne Wones, Director of Library Digital Strategies and Innovations at Harvard Library.
The Program Committee is interested in receiving proposals for presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and posters that speak to the following questions:
  • In this era of reinvention, how are we reframing ourselves, the work that we do, and our libraries?
  • How are we communicating around this shift within our institutions and beyond?

 

Topics might include, but are not limited to, the reframing of:
  • Our professional identities and roles within the library, on campus, and in society
  • The development and provision of library and archives collections to users
  • Cataloging and metadata practices
  • Efforts around diversity and inclusion in our profession and on our campuses
  • LIS education: Are we graduating technologically- and information-literate librarians?
  • Professional development, collaboration, training, and supervision
  • Research and publication in library and information science
  • Education and advocacy on issues of scholarly communication, copyright, and licensing
  • Public services: liaison, instruction, and reference work
  • Data services and the library’s role in research data management, data education, and open data
  • Assessment, and our role in broader institutional efforts around student success and retention, accreditation, and learning outcomes
  • The institutional context of the academic library, including institutional structures, cross-departmental collaborations, and faculty status issues

 

Staff, faculty, administrators, and students in all areas of librarianship are encouraged to submit proposals. 
To submit a proposal, follow this link: https://goo.gl/forms/DhpZH2UCJYCdXpeH2
The deadline for proposal submission is midnight on Dec 2, 2016.
Questions should be directed to the ACRL/NE CPC Programming Committee:

Advances in Library Administration and Organization Project Management in the Library Workplace

Posted on November 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

Publication due 2017

Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College

Volume Editor: Alice Daugherty, Louisiana State University Libraries

Many works have been published on ‘how to do project management’ in librarianship, but there are gaps in coverage of the deeper issues and surrounding processes. For example, what methods have been successfully used, in the library workplace, for assessing efficacy of project management?  What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace.

Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest:

  • Assessments of project management approaches
  • History of project management in library administration and future trends
  • Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries
  • Efficacy of project management tools for library workplaces and projects
  • Project-related problem solving
  • Project participants and teambuilding
  • Project leadership in libraries
  • Project management education for library workers

This will be the second volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2017.

About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series

ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization.  The series answers the questions, “How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?” It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot.  Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional quandaries.

How to submit

We are currently seeking proposals for the 2017 volume on project management in the library workplace.  If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Alice Daugherty at adaugher@lsu.edu by November 15, 2016.

Submission deadlines

 

Submission deadline for proposals: November 15, 2016

Notification of acceptance sent by:  December 15, 2016

Submission deadline for full chapters:  February 15, 2017

Comments returned to authors:  April 1, 2017

Submission deadline for chapter revisions:  May 1, 2017

Library Instruction West 2016: Learning Elevated

Posted on August 13, 2015 | Leave a comment

Call for Proposals

The Library Instruction West 2016 Program Committee invites you to submit a proposal to present at our conference, to be held Wednesday, June 8th through Friday, June 10th, 2016 at Westminster College and University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, co-hosted by institutions across the state.

 

Library Instruction West is the new name for the popular LOEX of the West conference. The new name reflects the mission of the conference and reflects our regional spirit; it also distinguishes this conference from the national LOEX organization and conference.

 

Library Instruction West 2016 has chosen “Learning Elevated” as this year’s theme.  Utah is widely known for its beautiful mountain ranges and five national parks. In keeping with that landscape, we want to hear about ways librarians are elevating and increasing student learning at their institutions. General categories for possible topics include:

 

  • Beware of false summits: Elevating student learning
  • Tools for the trail: Supporting innovative technologies & online learning
  • Improve the path for next time: Building authentic assessments
  • Establish new footholds: Implementing threshold concepts & the Framework
  • Never hike alone: Collaborating with faculty
  • Finding your path: Developing ourselves as teachers

 

Please visit the conference website for more information: http://campusguides.lib.utah.edu/liw16/proposals

 

Session Formats

Our session formats are simple and allow for creativity. There are two options for session length: 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The 15 minute sessions will be like a longer lightning talk, with roughly 10 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Bring your energy for lively discussions! The format is flexible for the 45 minute sessions, and you are welcome to try an experimental format or propose a traditional session like a panel, workshop, or presentation. All proposals will be blind reviewed.

 

Proposal Submissions

The deadline for submitting your session proposal is 11:59 pm MST, Friday, October 2, 2015.

 

For your proposal, please submit the following two session descriptions:

  1. A short abstract of 150 words or less. If your proposal is accepted, we will use this abstract for the conference program. The review committee will not see these abstracts, so they caninclude identifying information.
  2. A longer session description of 300 – 500 words. The Program Committee will review this description for selection purposes. This description must notinclude any identifying information about the institution or presenters to ensure a blind review.

 

The submission form is available online: https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6zA7hrx3cUoukcd

 

Session proposals will be scored on these criteria:

  • Clarity of goals or objectives for session
  • Originality, creativity, or innovation in content and/or presentation
  • Timeliness/relevance of content
  • Connection to conference theme, “Learning Elevated”

 

Timeline

August 3, 2015: Call for proposal released

October 2, 2015: Deadline for proposal submission

December 18, 2015: Acceptance notifications sent via email

January 15, 2016:  Session confirmations due

June 8-10, 2016: Library Instruction West in Salt Lake City, Utah

 

Publication

We are pleased to continue a successful relationship with Reference Services Review. Presenters are encouraged to submit a paper based on their presentation for inclusion in a special issue of RSR. Selected papers will be published, subject to double blind peer review, in 2017.
