CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS: The Entrepreneurial Librarian


CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS: The Entrepreneurial Librarian

Deadline: December 5, 2010

The editors of The Entrepreneurial Librarian, a book to be published by McFarland & Company in 2011, seek chapters that detail library-related entrepreneurial ventures. The book will cover four models of entrepreneurship:
* Intrapreneurship, innovative products and services developed in a library that stayed within the library
* Entrepreneurship, projects that became commercial ventures with financial risk and reward
* Funding entrepreneurship, in which the library developed innovative, non-traditional non-governmental funding sources
* Social entrepreneurship, in which the objective of the project is to raise awareness or educate the public about a social cause.

Like the upcoming conference, The Conference for Entrepreneurial Librarians: From Vision to Implementation in March 2011, the book will document examples of entrepreneurial librarians and their activities. The book will be edited by a three-librarian team of editors. Information about the conference and editors can be found at http://zsr.wfu.edu/entrelib/

Chapter requirements:
* Consist of 8,000 - 10,000 words
* Fall within one of the four models described above
* Qualify as original, neither previously published nor simultaneously submitted
Timeline:
* Chapter proposals of approximately 500 words are due by December 5, 2010.
* Authors will be notified by December 31, 2010 of decisions about their inclusion in the book
* Chapters will be due by April 8, 2011

Your proposal should be sent to [email protected] with the subject line Book Chapter Proposal and should include:

Name
Title
Institution or company name
Email
Daytime phone number
Chapter title and description of approximately 500 words
