<strong>Call for Chapter Proposals – Advances in Librarianship, Volume 33
<br><br>
Librarianship in Times of Crisis </strong>
<br><br>The impact of the global economic crisis is having a severe and
probably lasting impact on libraries and related fields. Libraries are
not only reducing book and periodical buying, they are asking
publishers to hold prices at prior year levels. Colleges and
universities with LIS program are seeking new income streams. In the
U.S., state libraries such as New Jersey’s, fight to survive funding
cuts as high as 74%. Public libraries are closing branches and cutting
service hours. Academic libraries are pooling their purchases and
technical services to streamline operations. Library associations, such
as the Canadian Library Association, are seeking structural changes to
sustain themselves.
<br><br>The 2011 volume will focus on the impact of plummeting
support, as well as creative solutions to surviving this tsunami.
Papers are sought from all sectors of the field: education; publishing;
and all types of libraries and information services, associations and
related industries. <br><br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
<br><br>
<ul><li>Mergers and consolidations amongst consortia and regional cooperatives
</li><li>Downsizing library hours and eliminating public library branch services
</li><li>Large, medium and small academic libraries solutions to cost cutting
</li><li>Staff reorganizations, layoffs, salary and benefit cuts
</li><li>Merging technical and non-public service operations across two or more academic libraries
</li><li>Refining and narrowing core/principal missions
</li><li>Digital solutions to offset funding losses
</li><li>Advocacy efforts by the public to resist loss of library funding
</li><li>Marketing the value of the library to users
</li><li>Opening new markets for library and information science schools
</li><li>Effect on the publishing industry
</li><li>Impact on museums, archives and special collections
</li><li>Extent of union leadership in downsizing efforts
</li><li>How are libraries in all sectors preserving quality of services to their clients
</li><li>Impact and solutions for national, state and other government operations and services
</li></ul>
