CFP: SPECIAL ISSUE OF COLLEGE & UNDERGRADUATE LIBRARIES (Scholarly Communication Process)

College & Undergraduate Libraries, a Taylor & Francis peer-reviewed publication, invites proposals for articles to be published in a special issue addressing how smaller academic libraries are involved in the scholarly communication process.

The issue will be co-edited by Kevin Gunn ([email protected]) at The Catholic University of America and John Spencer ([email protected]) at Gonzaga University.

In their articles, authors should focus on writing about the concerns, challenges, and successes of the role of the college library in the scholarly communication process:

?    Digital repositories
?    Digital literacy
?    New roles for librarians
?    Faculty forums
?    E-portfolios
?    Altmetrics
?    Open access, open data, open courses (MOOCs)
?    Digital humanities 
?    Big data
 
Authors are invited to submit articles/proposals for articles that deal with:

1.  Theoretical, philosophical, or ideological discussions 
2.  Case studies of library projects and initiatives
3.  Research studies on assessment results and libraries? uses of those results
4.  Opinion or position papers on the impact of scholarly communication on libraries and their users (e.g. responding to the ACRL white paper, Intersections of Scholarly Communication and Information Literacy: Creating Strategic Collaborations for a Changing Academic Environment)

We welcome proposals from librarians and faculty or other partners both individually and as teams. The proposal should consist of an abstract of 500 words and up to six keywords describing the article together with all author contact information. Articles should run at least 20 double-spaced pages in length. Please consult the following link that contains instructions for authors: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=wcul20&page=instructions For additional information, please contact either editor. Please submit proposals to Kevin Gunn  ([email protected]) by November 1, 2013; please do not use Scholar One for submitting proposals.  First drafts of accepted proposals will be due by April 1, 2014. The issue will be published in the fall of 2014. Feel free to contact either of us with any questions you may have.
