Call for Papers

The Third Annual Collections Research Forum

Emerging Research in Collection Management & Development

ALA Annual 2012



The Publications Committee of the Collection Management Section of ALCTS 
is sponsoring the Third Annual Collections Research Forum, "Emerging 
Research in Collection Management & Development," at the 2012 American 
Library Association Annual Conference in Anaheim.



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 November 4, 2011, 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

      The deadline for proposals is November 4, 2011.

Notification of acceptance will be made by December 2, 2011.



Please send submissions to:

Stephen Dew
