Dear Colleagues,
I thought you might be interested in sharing this call for papers with other colleagues via e-mail or Facebook--or even better, submitting an abstract yourself! I'm guest editing this issue of Against the Grain; details below.
Thanks,
Erin

Call for Papers: Speak Up!--Communication between Academic Librarians and Scholarly Publishers
I invite you to submit brief abstracts (1-2 paragraphs) prior to September 4th, 2015 for the December/January 2015/2016 issue of Against the Grain.
We are interested in a variety of perspectives and combinations of perspectives. Distributors, publishers, vendors, consultants, library patrons, and library workers are encouraged to send your ideas to egallagher_at_rollins.edu.
We're particularly interested in:
* best (or worst) practices from the library side and from the scholarly publisher/vendor/provider side. What works and what doesn't? How did you arrive at these realizations?
* how do libraries take advantage of fruitful publisher relationships to negotiate for better pricing/license terms/etc.?
* how relationships between libraries and publishers have evolved as a result of models like evidence-based acquisition, demand-driven acquisition, "big deal" packages, pay-per-view, etc.
* how librarians have adopted concrete policies or even created specific positions in the library to deal with publisher communications.
* how consortia handle publisher communications.
* perspectives on the future of library/publisher communications and how we can improve even further.
