[Asis-l] DEADLINE APPROACHING: Call for Chapter Proposals - Creative Approaches to Instructional Design in Libraries

[Moriana Garcia]

Hello,

We’re excited to invite you to submit chapter proposals for our forthcoming
ACRL book, *Creative Approaches to Instructional Design in Libraries:
Moving from Theory to Practical Application*.

*Focus of the Book*:

Libraries increasingly emphasize innovative services that connect patrons
to information. Given these changes, instructional design (ID) is becoming
an important concept in librarians’ day-to-day activities. Unique,
library-specific challenges call for creative ideas that are grounded in
solid research and theory. Applying the theory to your institution or
circumstance is often challenging. This book will attempt to break down
librarians’ preconceptions of what ID is and inspire them to implement ID
in creative ways.

There are many variations in how different sectors understand and apply the
concept of instructional design. *For purposes of this book*, we define it
as intentional, sound instructional or programmatic creation, delivery, and
assessment that takes into account the audience, course/program context,
and shared learning goals.


*Book Structure*:

This book will have three main sections – *Information Literacy
Instruction, Programming and Outreach, *and *Online Initiatives*.


We welcome chapters that focus on practical and creative approaches to ID
implementation. What problem were you trying to solve? What ideas did you
generate to solve that problem? Who was involved? What was the result? How
can the ideas be adapted beyond your library situation?

Supporting ID theory and models can supplement your ideas, but should not
be the focus of your proposed chapter.

Proposals will be considered in any of the following categories within one
of the three main sections (Information Literacy Instruction, Programming
and Outreach, and Online Initiatives):

Suggested subtopics include:

   -     Intentional planning using ID principles (e.g., lesson planning,
   designing targeted programs, moving from face-to-face to online
   instruction)
   -     Collaboration with faculty, staff, and other on-campus support
   services
   -     Assessment planning using ID principles
   -     Obstacles and creative solutions to ID issues

*Don’t see your topic here?* Contact the editors at CreativeIDBook at gmail.com
to discuss how your idea may fit within this book’s scope.


*Proposal Guidelines*:

A short form with an attached Word document (.doc or .docx) is required for
proposal submission. The Word document should be written in Times New
Roman, 12 pt., be double-spaced, and include:

   -     A working title
   -     Names of all contributing authors & their respective institutions
   -     Contact information for the primary author
   -     A paragraph describing the proposed chapter
   -     One final sentence that explains how your idea can be adapted
   beyond your library setting


*Proposals are due by Friday, February 5, 2016*, and can be submitted to
