Call for Papers
Emerging Research in Collection Management & Development
Collections Research Forum, ALA Annual 2010
The Publications Committee of the Collection Management & Development
Section of ALCTS is sponsoring a Research Forum, "Emerging Research in
Collection Management & Development," at the 2010 American Library
Association Annual Conference in Washington, DC.
This is an opportunity to present and discuss your research. Both
completed research and research in progress will be considered. All
researchers, including collection practitioners from all types of
libraries, library school faculty and students, and other interested
individuals, are encouraged to submit a proposal.
The Committee will use a "blind review” process to select two projects.
The selected researchers are required to present their papers in person
at the forum. Each researcher should plan for a 25-30 minute
presentation, with a 10-15 minute open discussion following each
presentation. Criteria for selection are:
Significance of the study for improving collection management and
development practices
Potential for research to fill a gap in collections scholarship or to
build on previous studies
Quality and creativity of the methodology
Previously published research or research accepted for publication prior
to December 31, 2009 will not be accepted.
The submission must consist of no more than two pages. On the first
page, please list your name(s), title(s), institutional affiliation(s),
and contact information (including your mailing address, telephone
number, fax number, and email address). The second page should be a
one-page proposal, and it should NOT show your name or any personal
information. Instead, it must include only:
The title of your project
A clear statement of the research problem
A description of the research methodology used
Results of the project, if any
Notification of acceptance will be made by February 1, 2010.
Please send submissions to:
