Call for Chapter Proposals!
Working Title: Managing Crises in the Academic Library: Past, Present and Future.
The current pandemic has provided a vivid reminder of how quickly crises can occur and spread, impacting libraries and their users. Crisis management is nothing new to libraries of all descriptions. Historically and currently, how have academic libraries, and librarians, as well as staff, stepped up to the challenges of a crisis? How does management respond to rapid change, when the change is driven by a crisis? How can the library effectively function as a team, if the team ends up scattered, downsized, and potentially demoralized?

Managing Crises in the Academic Library: Past, Present and Future, provides multi-layered perspectives on current and historical topics exploring and extending our understanding of how academic libraries respond to crises of all kind and strategies use to cope and thrive in an uncertain world. It includes issues that are organizational and human-focused, as well as lessons learned during and after a crisis subsides. These topics can be revealed and explored though quantitative, qualitative, or historical or case-based methods.

Submission Procedure:
Librarians, library researchers, staff, and library administrators are invited to submit on or before March 1, 2021, a chapter proposal of 250 – 500 words clearly explaining the proposed chapter.
