During the past few years, groups like the President's Council of 
Advisors on Science and Technology, and Center for Education, have 
been placing great emphasis on the significance of STEM (science, 
technology, engineering, and math) education. The curricula has been 
revised in many institutions and school districts across the country. 
Chapters sought for an anthology by practicing academic, public, 
school, special librarians, LIS faculty in the United States, Canada, 
and others sharing practical how-to chapters on: grant writing, 
community partnerships, outreach, research, and programming 
activities. Creative methods are sought that apply to various types 
of libraries (K-College) and job positions.

Concise, how-to chapters words based on experience to help 
colleagues. Your nuts and bolts article should total 3000-3500 words. 
No previously published or simultaneously submitted material. One or
