The ALISE School Library SIG calls for papers to be presented during the SIG’s conference program at the annual ALISE conference (January 21-24 2014, Philadelphia). Submitted papers should support the theme of ALISE School Library SIG, Creating Innovative Partnerships as well as the 2014 conference theme, Educational Entrepreneurship (http://www.alise.org). An abstract of the paper should be submitted as a 750 word abstract by July 15, 2013 to Patricia Montiel Overall ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Additional details are below. School librarians are at the forefront of changes sweeping education. Through innovative partnerships and bold leadership, they create entrepreneurial spaces for inquiry, collaboration, and creativity. A panel will share three research papers exploring how school librarians and school library educators create opportunities for real change in pedagogy, curriculum, and practice. In this call, we solicit research papers that explore school librarianship as entrepreneurial partnerships. Examples of potential research topics include: · School librarians forging entrepreneurial partnerships with teachers, community, or others; · School librarians as leaders of change & risk takers in curriculum or pedagogy; · Partnerships that encourage students as entrepreneurs including school libraries as “makerspaces”; · Innovative practices and partnerships in school library education; and · Collaborating to harness new technologies. Papers are not limited to these listed topics. Related topics are encouraged particularly if they involve Innovative research practices that demonstrate risk-taking with new methods, participants, or researcher roles.
