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.
Proposals regarding any topics related to open access and the future of
research libraries are welcome; the following is a non-exclusive list of
areas that papers could address:



                Library services and open data

                Libraries as publishers

                ETDs and the anxiety of openness

                The impact of open access on journal publication

                Metrics for measuring the impact of OA

                MOOCs and OERs

A title and proposal of no longer than 300 words should be sent to Kevin
Smith at kevin.l.smith at duke.edu by February 15, 2015; final manuscripts of
accepted papers will be due by October 1, 2015.  Rowman & Littlefield will
only ask for 1st publication rights for these chapters; the author will
retain all other rights, including deposit into an IR.
