New Approaches to Liaison Librarianship

Another call for chapter proposals! This is for a book to be published by ACRL and edited by Robin Canuel (McGill University) and Chad Crichton (University of Toronto Scarborough). The title is New Approaches to Liaison Librarianship: Innovations in Instruction, Collections, Reference, and Outreach. "The editors aim to bring together a wide variety of perspectives from liaison librarians and liaison program leaders detailing the unique structures, practices, and solutions developed at their institutions. We feel that the time is ripe for a new in-depth treatment of liaison librarianship that details the responses of libraries to the latest trends in liaison librarianship and the recent literature discussing the liaison model in academic librarianship. We also hope to include a broad variety of perspectives, including those that may use different nomenclature ("subject librarians," "departmental librarians," and "embedded librarianship" are all relevant framings of practices and programs that we are interested in exploring)." Suggested chapter topics include "Instruction: The Benefits of Liaison Librarianship for Teaching and Learning" and "Faculty Research: Partnering with Faculty to Support their Scholarly Work". Proposals are due by September 14 2018. More information at: http://bit.ly/acrlliaison.
