Meeting place
by Joann Crater 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

On the local "Things for Sale in Hudson, Michigan" facebook group, I ran this: Safe exchange environment FREE Buyers/Sellers: with chilly weather upon us, consider using the Hudson Library as a place to meet. We have tables to view the treasures, we are out of the cold and wind and dampness...kids are entertainable if you have to wait on someone and you are never alone meeting strangers. Just a thought...keep us in mind. This may not be a good idea for all libraries but I am tired of worrying about my daughter meeting strangers in the parking lot at the grocery store with three little kids in the car on rainy nights. Over 80 people have liked this in the last few hours and we are receiving many good comments....so if nothing else...they are aware that there is a library in town.

Book club attendance?
by Ed Burns 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Does anyone have any suggestions for attracting new book club members? We have a club that’s been running for 10 or 12 years, one Tuesday evening a month. We read mostly fiction. We do a classic and usually one non-fiction title a year. We were getting about a dozen people a meeting pretty steadily for a long time, with different members coming and going. But it's been dying a slow death the last couple of years. I’d be grateful for any tips. Thank you.

by Elizabeth Martin 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Call for proposals Advances in Library Administration and Organization Project Management in the Library Workplace Publication due 2017 Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College Volume Editor: Alice Daugherty, Louisiana State University Libraries Many works have been published on ‘how to do project management’ in librarianship, but there are gaps in coverage of the deeper issues and surrounding processes. For example, what methods have been successfully used, in the library workplace, for assessing efficacy of project management? What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace. Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest: • Assessments of project management approaches • History of project management in library administrationand future trends • Integration of project management processes and procedures within libraries • Efficacy of project management tools for library workplaces and projects • Project-related problem solving • Project participants and teambuilding • Project leadership in libraries • Project management education for library workers This will be the second volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization (ALAO) to publish in 2017. 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 We are currently seeking proposals for the 2017 volume on project management in the library workplace. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please send a proposal including author details and estimated length of final submission to Alice Daugherty at adaugher(a)lsu.edu<mailto:adaugher@lsu.edu> by November 15, 2016. Submission deadlines Submission deadline for proposals: November 15, 2016 Notification of acceptance sent by: December 15, 2016 Submission deadline for full chapters: February 15, 2017 Comments returned to authors: April 1, 2017 Submission deadline for chapter revisions: May 1, 2017 Samantha Schmehl Hines Associate Dean for Instructional Resources and Library Director Peninsula College 1502 E Lauridsen Blvd<x-apple-data-detectors://47/1> Port Angeles, WA 98362<x-apple-data-detectors://47/1> (360) 417-6275<tel:(360)%20417-6275> | shines(a)pencol.edu<mailto:shines@pencol.edu> Beth Martin GVSU Libraries Head of Professional Programs & Economics Liaison Sent from iPhone
