Call for Proposals - Person-Centered Management in Academic Libraries

  • 1.  Call for Proposals - Person-Centered Management in Academic Libraries

    Posted Jun 01, 2022 02:26 PM

    Hello!

    We are excited to share that an edited volume, tentatively titled "Person-Centered Management in Academic Libraries," will be published in 2024 by ALA Editions. This volume will be edited by Dani Brecher Cook, Maoria J. Kirker, and Diann Smothers. We are currently soliciting proposals for chapters that relate to the overall theme of person-centered management.

    At this point, we envision including three types of chapters: Theory (3-4,000 words), Practical (3-4,000 words), and Reflective (1,000 words) chapters. We encourage and welcome ideas beyond these categories, as well as chapters that mix these approaches.

    We welcome submissions by current, former, and aspiring managers; new and experienced writers; and practitioners from community colleges, colleges, and universities.

    You can view the full call for proposals and submission form here: Call for Proposals

    Proposals are due by: Friday, July 29, 2022 at 11:59 PM PDT
    All proposals will receive notification of acceptance or rejection by: End of August 2022

    Please send any questions you have about the book to the editors at personcenteredmanagement@gmail.com.

    Thank you for your consideration,
    Dani, Maoria, and Diann
