From brad.eden at valpo.edu Wed Jan 4 13:32:35 2017 From: brad.eden at valpo.edu (Brad Eden) Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 12:32:35 -0600 Subject: [Sigdl-l] CFP: Project management in the library workplace Message-ID: > > Please excuse duplication. Please forward to interested colleagues and > other listservs. > Call for proposals Advances in Library Administration and Organization Project Management in the Library Workplace Publication due 2018 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, to assess 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 ? Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries ? Project leadership in libraries and future trends ? Project management education and certification for library workers This will be the first volume of *Advances in Library Administration and Organization* (ALAO) to publish in 2018. 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 2018 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 at lsu.edu by February 28, 2017. *Submission deadlines* Submission deadline for proposals: Feb. 28, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: March 31, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: May 31, 2017 Comments returned to authors: July 31, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: August 31, 2017 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This invitation extends to professionals in library publishing (past or present), LPC members/practitioners, LIS/iSchool professors, PhD candidates, and others with an interest and/or experience in this growing area of activity. Each proposal may be authored by an individual or a team. Proposals are invited between January 9 and February 28, 2017. Each proposal should focus on ONE of the following four course topics: Policy, Content, Impact, or Sustainability. See the Library Publishing Curriculum Framework for more details on what each of these course topics might include. Each selected author will develop a self-paced online course covering approximately 5-7 subtopics and providing approximately 15 hours of instruction and materials. Selected proposal authors will: - Attend an in-person retreat with the project team and fellow authors to review program goals, discuss formats and learning styles, and refine the learning objectives and methods we will use for each course and its subtopics (April-May, 2017). - Assemble the following learning materials for each course subtopic: learning objectives, readings, a narrative core for the course, a brief annotated bibliography, case studies, and exercises (May-August, 2017). - Refine the materials according to guidance from an Instructional Designer (August-September, 2017). - Create a course guide to support those who may use the materials (October 2017). - Assist in the creation of evaluation instruments tied to the learning objectives and competencies covered in your course (November-December, 2017). - Be invited to participate as a panelist at the 2018 Library Publishing Forum to talk about the project and the course materials (March-April, 2018). The curriculum is expected to reach more than 100 students in the first year of pilot experiences (2018) through LIS programs, professional development workshops, and online courses. We are pleased to be able to offer an honorarium of $4,000 for each of the four course topics (Policy, Content, Impact, and Sustainability). This honorarium will be provided to each of the four authors (or author teams) as they complete their work on the four course topics in December 2017, in recognition of the time and energy course development requires. Travel expenses will be covered for each of the four authors (or, in the case of a team, the lead author) to attend the in-person retreat. In addition, each author will have an opportunity to present at the 2018 Library Publishing Forum. Proposals are due by 5pm PT on February 28, 2017. Authors will be notified by March 31, 2017. Proposals should consist of: - A 1-2 page summary of your proposed approach to designing and developing the self-paced online course on one of the four named topics (Policy, Content, Impact, or Sustainability) and its range of potential subtopics (please see the Framework for more information). - A current author CV. For team proposals, a CV should be included for each team member, along with brief contribution statements, and a lead author for correspondence should be identified. - A brief (one paragraph) statement of purpose, explaining why you are interested in being an author in this project. Proposals will be reviewed and authors selected by the Advisory Board , with the following criteria in mind: - Successful proposals will demonstrate knowledge of the relevant topics, effective written communication skills, understanding of diverse learning styles, and will cover the topics and objectives laid out in the framework. - The field of library publishing includes a broad range of publication types and activities (e.g., journals, monographs, ETDs, and textbooks, in both restricted and open access formats), and proposals that reflect this range will be prioritized. - Care will be taken to assemble a group of authors with diverse voices in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and cultural backgrounds. -- *Melanie Schlosser* Scholarly Communications Program Leader Educopia Institute -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
