Call for proposals--EXTENDED Advances in Library Administration and Organization
by Elizabeth Martin 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Call for proposals--EXTENDED Advances in Library Administration and Organization Challenging the “Jacks of All Trades but Masters of None” Librarian Syndrome Publication due 2018 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: George J. Fowler, Old Dominion University Librarianship may be said to be facing an identity crisis. It may also be said that librarianship has been facing an identity crisis since it was proposed as a profession. With the advent of technology that lowers barriers to the access of information, the mission of a library has become indistinct. This volume will explore the current purpose of librarianship and libraries, how we become “Masters of our Domains”, develop expertise in various elements of the profession, and how we extend outward into our communities. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: * What is the purpose of a library in a community? And what roles in the community best align with that purpose? * How ought we gather and implement expertise from outside the profession? * How can we communicate and garner support from the government, the private sector and users in order to achieve our purpose? * How can libraries balance demands to serve other needs that detract from the library’s ability to fulfil its purpose? * How can libraries build community around this purpose, and how ought they reach out to their communities to engage and serve them? * How can libraries demonstrate positive impact on young generations? * What opportunities are opened to libraries and librarians by recent and potential future technological advancements? This will be the second volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2018. 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 May 31, 2017. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: May 31, 2017 Notification of acceptance sent by: July 15, 2017 Submission deadline for full chapters: October 15, 2017 Comments returned to authors: December 15, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: Feb 28, 2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Beth Martin Head of Professional Programs Interim Head of Liberal Arts GVSU Libraries, Steelcase Library 401 Fulton Street West, DEV 132A Grand Rapids, MI. 49504 616.331.7344 martelia(a)gvsu.edu<mailto:martelia@gvsu.edu>

Four New Michigan Code Books: Bulk Purchase Opportunity Available Through TLN
by Jim Flury 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

All, We are offering four new Michigan code books as a bulk purchase opportunity through The Library Network. We place the orders, ship to you via RIDES or TLN delivery, pay the invoice, and invoice your library. The invoice for your library is included with your shipment. We assess a $1.00 per book charge in order to partially offset the cost of this project. The prices noted are list; there may be a small discount depending upon how many copies we order of a given title. That said, the real savings here comes with the efficiency of having a single entity, in this case TLN, place a single purchase order for these books, as opposed to dozens of individual libraries having to do so. Here are the four titles that are being offered for bulk purchase: 1. 2015 Michigan Plumbing Code: $76.00. Goes effective April 20, 2017. 2. 2015 Michigan Building Code: $128.00. Goes effective April 20, 2017. 3. 2015 Michigan Mechanical Code: $76.00. Goes effective April 12, 2017. 4. 2015 Michigan Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings: $81.00. Went effective December 13, 2016 (oops, this one slipped by me. I try to catch all of them but not so much with this one it would seem). Please email your order for your code book(s) to me by no later than Friday, January 27, 2017. Library cooperative directors, please share this email with your member libraries. Thanks. Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
