These technology-mediated exchanges can play an important role in how information, and the library, is perceived and used. This book will share perspectives on how to interpret and apply the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship in the context of emerging technologies as well highlight case studies of organizations and applications that exemplify relevant library values. It will be grounded in theory, but be made applicable to a variety of libraries by situating discussions within a framework for decision-making. Authors will retain copyright of their work, and after one year the entire book will be made available open access. Structure The book will be organized into chapters corresponding with the values identified in the ALA's Core Values of Librarianship, but individual chapters do not need to tie directly to any particular interpretation of those values (see ?Chapter Details?). Authors should consider library values in the context of emerging technology, and what the implications are for making decisions about library practice. The editors are interested in considering a wide variety of perspectives and forms of submissions in order to be relevant to a broad audience Each section will include both: * Practical case studies of how to effectively use a particular technology in a library setting * Theoretical models for understanding and interpreting the relevant library value (or values) in context of a relevant technology Most submissions should include at least some elements of theory and practice, but can focus on any aspect. We will also consider submissions featuring just one element (an important theoretical consideration that could impact other works, or a particularly impactful case study). Copyright Priority will be given to producing the best possible final work that is meaningful to a wide audience rather than necessarily ?original research,? so authors may reuse portions of previous works when copyright allows. If doing so, authors are expected to revise their work and provide at minimum an introduction and conclusion that fit with the theme of this volume. Chapter Details For a more context and suggested topics for each chapter visit this document: https://goo.gl/slsCNV Potential Sections Include: ? Confidentiality/Privacy & Intellectual Freedom ? Access/Democracy ? The Public Good/Social Responsibility & Education and Lifelong Learning ? Preservation ? Diversity ? Service ? Professionalism Examples of topics include: * Libraries providing access to encryption technology * Libraries providing training/access to technology that enables expression * Libraries relationship to modern efforts to censor (e.g. NSA; Patriot Act; China?s firewall) * Technology that supports Open Access * The #ICANHAZPDF phenomenon, and technology surrounding interlibrary loan * Licensing/copyright agreements and library values * Preventing link-rot and related issues with archiving websites * Issues surrounding private/public communications online (e.g. preserving e-mails, Facebook posts and other semi-public digital objects stored on private servers) * How library interfaces impact diversity * How library values such as professionalism and service can be embodied in technology decisions Don?t see your topic/idea here?
