Subject: CFP on Open Access and the Future of Academic Libraries

[Brad Eden]

Beginning in early 2015, Rowman & Littlefield will begin publishing a
series of volumes on the future of academic libraries.  Nine volumes in the
series are currently in the works with Dr. Brad Eden, Dean of Library
Services at Valparaiso University, serving as the series editor.



A tenth volume is now being planned, which will focus on open access and
how the movement toward open access is impacting and will continue to
impact library services.  The editor of this volume will be Kevin Smith of
the Duke University Libraries.



Proposals for essays to be included in this volume are now welcome.
