<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">The Advances in Library Administration and Organization is seeking</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">proposals for their 2015 volume on staffing for the future. The call can</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">be found at</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">The call:</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">Libraries are dealing with unprecedented changes on several fronts:</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">technological developments, funding difficulties, and an increasing need</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">to prove themselves to a demanding population. These factors</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">understandably impact library staffing. Looking toward the future, what</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">changes can we expect to see in how libraries are staffed, how staff are</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">trained and continue to learn, and how we will recruit and maintain staff.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">The 2015 volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">will focus on the future of library staffing.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">ALAO offers long-form research, comprehensive discussions of theoretical</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">administration and organization. The series aims to answer the questions,</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">©øHow have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?©÷</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research to provide a venue</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">scholarly solutions to professional quandaries.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;"><br>

<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium;">We are currently seeking proposals for the 2015 volume on staffing for the</div>
