Reminder, 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:
