The ALA Office for Research & Statistics invites book proposals for the peer reviewed ALA Research Series. The ALA Research Series expands the knowledge base of library research by publishing accessible and practical analysis that addresses topics of importance to libraries, librarians and professional educators. The annual series welcomes proposals for complete monographs and for articles toward an edited volume. The series seeks research based on methods other than surveys, such as observational research, content analysis, grounded theory research, ethnographic technique and historical research, as well as research that blends different methods. The deadline is Monday, Nov. 28, 2011. For more information see: http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/news/ala/call-proposals-ala-researc h-series-0 Please send along to appropriate parties.
