Call for papers: ALISE 2017 – Historical Perspectives Special Interest Group
Posted May 25, 2016
In keeping with the 2017 ALISE Conference theme of “Community Engagement & Social Responsibility,” the Historical Perspectives SIG invites submissions for individual papers, or for a 3+ person panel program, on the history of community engagement and its entailments in LIS education. Historical research exploring some of the persistent questions related to instruction regarding the relationship between libraries and information organizations and the communities they serve is encouraged. Proposals for historical research in LIS education not directly connected to the conference theme are also welcome.
This call is open to anyone working in the field of library and information science, regardless of their institutional role(s). Because of the July 15th ALISE SIG deadline submission, submit 300-500 word abstracts in PDF or DOCX format by June 30, 2016, to SIG co-conveners Susan Rathbun-Grubb, srathbun@
