I’m using FreeMind to organize my thoughts for The Reference Librarian’s Guide to Mastering Internet Searching. This is what I’ve got so far. (You’ll need to view “all sizes” to make it readable.)

Call for articles (Colorado librarians only)
14
Dec 2005
I’ve been invited to be the guest editor of the spring 2006 issue of Colorado Libraries and since I’ve accepted, it is now my job to find librarians willing to contribute articles. The issue’s topic is “Managing Change in Libraries” so I’m looking for libraries that have been going through changes and are willing to share how they’ve dealt with all the issues involved. Potential areas of change that you could write about include, but are not limited to:
- Staffing changes (retiring baby boomers being replaced with Gen-X or millennial librarians)
- Dealing with the ever increasing speed of technological changes
- The changing roll of the librarian in society
- Moving from in-house services to outsourcing
- Changes in the library’s collection (moving from physical to digital resources)
- Service changes in response to shifting populations
- Managerial issues with change
This is just a list of topics that I came up with and welcome any other suggestions. I am looking for authors from all types of libraries and at all levels from paraprofessional to directors.
If you are interested in submitting an article please send me a 1-2 paragraph summary of your article idea by January 6, 2006. Upon acceptance of your proposal I will send you the author guidelines. Finished articles will need to be 8-10 double-spaced pages (length negotiable depending on the number of submissions) and submitted to me no later than February 20, 2006.
Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to pass this along to any other Colorado librarians that you feel might be interested.
