Call for Proposals: Advances in Library Administration and Organization
by Elizabeth Martin 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

Call for proposals Advances in Library Administration and Organization Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation Publication due 2019 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: Janet Crum, Northern Arizona University Libraries have begun doing more to support entrepreneurship and innovation within their communities. Makerspaces and business incubators have become featured attractions in public and academic libraries and provide a unique way to reach out to a user group that can bolster a community in dynamic ways. ALAO seeks submissions for the “Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation” volume that delve beyond examples and case studies to look at how library leaders can develop support for innovation and entrepreneurship within their libraries. Examples include but are not limited to: analyzing case studies from several institutions to identify best practices; ways of designing library spaces to ensure they meet the needs of all constituents; theoretical discussions on how activities/spaces supporting entrepreneurship and innovation reflect the mission of libraries; creative ways to get resources to support efforts in these areas; how these areas can lead to new kinds of collaborations that benefit libraries. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: * How the historical and cultural role of libraries has changed (or not) to include services that support creativity and innovation * How and why the development of makerspaces and incubators (or other innovative programs) supports the larger community in which the library is situated * How innovative and entrepreneurial support develops new partnerships, and how those partnerships can be sustained. This will be the first volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2019. About the Advances in Library Administration and Organization series ALAO<http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/books/series.htm?id=0732-0671> 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 If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send an abstract of 300 words or less as well as author details and estimated length of final submission to Samantha Hines at shines(a)pencol.edu<mailto:shines@pencol.edu> by August 31, 2017. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: August 31, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: October 31, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: February 15, 2018 Comments returned to authors: April 30, 2018 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: June 30, 2018 __ Beth Martin GVSU, University Libraries Head of Professional Programs & Interim Head of Liberal Arts DEV 132A, Steelcase Library martelia(a)gvsu.edu<mailto:martelia@gvsu.edu> 616.331.7344

MeL Minute redux: We need your help on MeL videos
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

For some of you, this MeL Minute will look familiar. It's the same one we sent out last week. But the response was so low that we're concerned it got lost amidst the holidays so we are re-issuing it. We need your help! The Library of Michigan has engaged a professional film crew to produce three videos about the Michigan eLibrary. They will be 2-4 minutes in length and feature schools, library staff, library buildings, and patrons. We plan to take what we learned from the successful business videos<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsiX4lmeyL4AkSn_DRZX1TgO3faZQ3Vhp> that we produced last year and parlay that into this new series. And we're looking to you for great stories to include! One video will talk about how valuable MeLCat is to the residents of the state. We want to tell the story of how MeLCat increases the capacity of even the tiniest Michigan library to provide millions of books and other library resources to their residents. We're doing something that benefits 10 million people and it involves 90% of the public libraries and almost all of the academic libraries in the state. Let's sing about it! Do you have patrons who use MeLCat in interesting ways? What about your super-users? Would they be good on camera? Contact Deb Renee Biggs at 517-373-4466 or biggsd(a)michigan.gov<http://biggsd@michigan.gov> and let her know. We need the very best stories to float to the top! Another video will talk about the impact of the MeL databases. We need to get in touch with patrons who have used the MeL databases to further their education at the high school or college level, to push into a new career field, to pursue their hobbies, to research family history, fix their cars, satisfy their curiosity, save money or bring money or business to their communities, or assist their employer. The last video talk about the success of using MeL resources at Cody High School, the Detroit Institute of Technology College Prep High School. Gale's Cody Academy Program sends volunteers to the Detroit school. In collaboration with the Cody principal and one of the English teachers, Gale staff works with three senior English classes. A big side benefit to our efforts early on was the introduction of Cody staff to resources that were available to them free through MeL. Because of budget cuts, Cody, like other Detroit schools had recently lost their media specialists, and teachers and the administration were unaware of these resources. We're planning to shoot the videos in August and September and we need your help in identifying patrons who have benefitted from MeL. Do you have patrons with a great story to tell about the impact MeL has had on their lives? Do you have patrons that are articulate and would be proud to represent their new-found knowledge on camera? We're looking to you to share those stories with us as we seek out the best MeL tales in the state and get them recorded for all to see. Due to the practicalities of the shooting schedule, locations need to be within a one and a half hour drive of Lansing. Ideally, we would speak with more than one person at each stop so put on your thinking caps and aggregate the good news you have to share about MeL. Contact Deb Renee Biggs at the Library of Michigan at 517-373-4466 or biggsd(a)michigan.gov<http://biggsd@michigan.gov> with your story.
