Do you use iPads (or other tablet computers) in your library? Consider submitting a chapter to our book!
This is a call for proposals for chapters to be included in a book entitled Tablet Computers in Academic Libraries. This book will be edited by Rebecca K. Miller, Heather Moorefield-Lang, and Carolyn Meier of Virginia Tech and published by ALA Editions.
In order to submit a proposal, please send a 1-2 paragraph summary of your idea for a chapter, along with a current CV highlighting relevant publication experience. Proposals and accompanying material should be submitted by November 16, 2011 to: tabletsinlibraries@gmail.com. Although the editors of this book hope to see many creative and interesting ideas relating to the use of tablet computers in academic libraries, we are specifically concerned with the following areas of discussion and exploration:
Use of tablet computers to enhance library and information literacy instruction
Use of tablet computers to enhance reference services
Use of tablet computers to enhance or contribute to collection management
Strategies for designing tutorials and websites for tablet computers
Understanding how students and faculty (the surrounding academic community) are using tablet computers
Exploring how librarians can use tablet computers for professional development and research
