CALL

This proposed SIG session seeks to critically examine casualties and 
collateral damages resulting from market driven educational 
entrepreneurship in LIS education.

In this context, the term entrepreneurship refers to the development of 
alternative business approaches in the market place. In the literature, 
the term educational entrepreneurship has been used to describe the 
invention of alternatives to traditional education aiming to "improve the 
productivity, quality, and equity of American education" (Levin, 2006).

It is conventional knowledge that the positive outcomes of the 
entrepreneurial spirit in higher education led LIS programs to harness 
information and communication technologies to innovate with methods of 
course delivery and attendance, online student participation and 
faculty/student interaction, the design of online degree programs and 
virtual campuses, and to open the doors of our programs of study to a 
geographically distributed body of diverse students.

Benefits of educational entrepreneurship are obvious in particular for 
administrators who rejoice over increased enrollment and for students who 
revel in the opportunity to earn a degree online while working full time 
and without uprooting their family. However, we have neglected to take a 
step back and critically look at the effects of the entrepreneurial 
approach in LIS education. The time has come to open the proverbial "can 
of worms" and examine the possible negative outcomes of this approach. We 
ask, "What are the unintended consequences of educational 
entrepreneurship?"

We invite educators, administrators, and doctoral students interested in 
participating in a panel discussion to submit a proposal. Our aim is to 
constitute a panel of four participants who will be asked to present a 
compelling critical statement in 10 minutes and afterwards answer 
questions from the audience. Our hope is to be able to pod-cast the 
session so that adjunct faculty unable to attend ALISE 2014 in person can 
join in the discussion online.

PROPOSALS

Due date: June 24, 2013

To submit, go to EasyChair 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=2014parttimeadjuncts

Create an account and log-in. Select New Submission.

Submit a PDF document including:

1. a cover page with your name, affiliation, contact information, and 
title of your proposal/ topic you are interested in discussing

2. an essay stating your critical perspective on the topic you are 
interested in discussing in no more than 500 words.

TOPICS

Possible topics are suggested below; however we encourage proposals that 
include other cogent topics.

- Effects of "academic capitalism" (Slaughter and Leslie, 1997; Slaughter 
and Rhoades, 2004) on the hiring of LIS faculty.

- The end of tenure and the advent of renewable contracts for all?

- Labor conditions for educators outside the tenure track.

- Effects of educational entrepreneurship on student recruitment.

- How do we evaluate professional readiness of "virtually" socialized 
librarians (MLS) and scholars (PhD) graduating from online MLS and PhD 
programs?

- Are online communities of scholars, electronically mediated mentorship, 
and advising of doctoral students adequate in the context of the doctoral 
research project?

- Are we graduating too many students? Are MLS and PhD students prepared 
for alternate careers outside libraries and academia?
