[Web4lib] Call for articles: Academic Library case studies in management and finance

[Brad Eden]

Please excuse duplication.  Please forward to interested colleagues and 
other listservs.

_The Bottom Line:  Managing Library Finances_ is publishing a special 
issue of the journal on case studies in management and finance in 
academic libraries.  We are especially looking for examples of 
reorganization, repositioning, and retraining of people and resources, 
as well as new initiatives and directions that required strategic 
thinking and risk taking in the areas of dropping traditional library 
roles and moving into new future digital environments (which may include 
things like 3D information visualization, strategic collaborations 
across disciplines and organizations, etc.).  If you think that you 
would be interested in submitting an article to this peer-reviewed 
special issue of this journal, please contact the editor directly (email 
given below).  Any and all ideas for topics will be given consideration.

Article proposals will be accepted through February 1, 2007.  Proposals 
need only include author name(s) and contact information, and a brief 
paragraph stating what the article will be about.

Deadline for completion of articles will be no later than May 1, 2007.
