[Sigifp-l] Opportunity to contribute a book chapter

[Oltmann, Shannon]

Colleagues-

A professor emeritus from my institution contacted me about contributing a book chapter to his ongoing project, The Changing World Language Map (https://changingworldlanguagemap.weebly.com/). I turned it down because I am too busy and I'm not sure it's the best use of my time. However, I agreed to pass on his interest in chapters to all of you. See his information below. If interested, please contact Stan Brunn directly. Thanks.

From: Stan Brunn, Professor Emeritus, Geography, Univ of Kentucky   brunn at uky.edu<mailto:brunn at uky.edu>
I am editing a megabook on THE CHANGING WORLD LANGUAGE MAP which will include original chapters on a wide variety of topics about language including  origin, diffusion, cultures, conflicts, representation, instruction, technology, regions and mapping. Also I consider art, music, theater, film and architecture as languages.  I would be very interested in including a couple chapters on these topics: (a) the national and international networks of specialized libraries (law, health, theology, environment, maps, or a specific region), (b) ethical issues and challenges facing libraries in a virtual world,  (c) linkages Global South libraries have to the Global North and (d) censorship in the digital age.  The publisher of the forthcoming book will be Springer, which also published my megabook on religion a couple years ago.
