Submission deadline extended until July 21, 2017... If you've been
procrastinating, now is your time!
You are invited to submit a chapter proposal for the second edition of the
successful and positively-reviewed 2014 book published by ALA, The Top
Technologies Every Librarian Needs to Know. Chapter proposals are due July
21, 2017, and can be submitted via the chapter proposal form
<https://goo.gl/forms/LwXOcJfTBho6hycQ2>.
*Theme of the Book*
What current technologies are on the cusp of moving from "gee whiz" to
real-life application in libraries? This book will explore the information
landscape as it might be in 3-5 years. It will describe the emerging
technologies of today that are likely to be at the core of "standard"
library offerings in the not-distant future. It will introduce project
managers and project doers not just to new technologies, but also provide
an understanding of the broader trends that are driving them.
Chapter-length essays are particularly sought on the following topics:
- Augmented reality
- Content Management
- Digital Preservation
- Digital repositories
- Effect of cloud-based library management systems
- Ereaders & Ebooks
- Internet of Things
- Library custom-built/open source tools at scale
- Library integrations of multiple services/tools
- Mobile Technologies (beyond responsive design)
- Open source LMS developments
- Patron privacy technology (focus on technology, not policies)
- Shared print repositories
- Tools for analytics (tools beyond Google Analytics); in-depth
applications
- User-centered design
- Virtual reality
*Details*
Chapters will be in the 4000-4500 word range and must address the following
points:
1. Define the technology (in general, and in the context of the chapter)
2. Why does the technology matter in general, and to libraries in
particular?
3. What are early adopters doing?
4. What does the future trend look like?
5. Having embraced this technology, what would the library of 2022 look
like?
Proposals should be submitted to Ken Varnum, the book's editor, via
https://goo.gl/forms/LwXOcJfTBho6hycQ2 by July 21, 2017.
