This post was originally sent to Jesse mid-July but did not appear, so we are reposting. (Thanks, Gretchen, for investigating.) If you are a member of the ALISE Youth Services or School Library SIG, you received the original post through ALISE, so please consider this a second call.... With profuse apologies for this late posting, the ALISE Youth Services SIG calls for short papers to be presented during our conference program, “A Risky Business: Educational Entrepreneurship in Youth Services” at the annual ALISE conference (January 21-24, 2014, Philadelphia). The session will be in the form of a panel. Participants will present a “lightning talk” of six minutes accompanied by one slide. Submissions should be aligned with the 2014 conference theme,* *Educational Entrepreneurship, in its broadest sense, as reflected in youth services research. Please submit a 500 word abstract (no slides required at this point) by *August 15, 2013* to Annette Goldsmith ([log in to unmask]), including the title of your paper, institutional affiliation, position, and contact information. Possible topics for the panel include but are not limited to: · Entrepreneurial partnerships and collaborations (for example, library as incubator) · Transforming physical space (for example, makerspaces) · Taking an entrepreneurial approach to LIS teaching and learning (for example, adjunct or alternative professoriate) · Ventures in cultural competence (for example, storytelling projects) · Innovative youth-run initiatives and participatory culture (for example, fan fiction) · Entrepreneurial trends in children’s and young adult print and digital publishing (for example, copyright and intellectual freedom) Submissions will be peer-reviewed and all applicants will be notified by *September 15, 2013.* Thanks!
