Advances in Library Administration and Organization
Scholarly Communication and Library Management Publication (due to be
published in 2019)
Series Editor: Samantha Hines, Peninsula College
Volume Editor: Su Epstein, Saxton B. Little Free Library
Description: Libraries hold a valued and valuable role in scholarly
communication. With the advent of online communications and increasing
competition in both scholarly outlets and tenured roles on campuses, how
scholars contribute to academic discourse has become increasingly complicated,
and libraries have taken on more in this area. In the public sector, libraries
are working more with nontraditional education venues and finding greater need
for understanding and utilizing scholarly communications formerly reserved for
academia. ALAO seeks submissions for the “Scholarly Communication and Library
Management” volume that delve beyond examples and case studies to look at how
libraries can deepen their role in scholarly communication and strengthen
services and resources for scholars and peers.
Proposals in the following areas would be of particular interest:
· Improving
understanding around research methods
· The civility
movement in public libraries and its counterpart in scholarly communication
· The role of
libraries in critically evaluating information resources
· How libraries
teach the basics of scholarly communication
· How libraries can
benefit and utilize scholarly communication
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 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.
