[Fla-facrlboard] The editors of The Reference Librarian wish to publish a special issue featuring our conference presenters.

[Craig Amos]

Good morning,

This is a great opportunity, thank you for setting this up! It should be solid marketing to add the possibility of publication to a call for proposal submissions.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi everyone,
Lauri Rebar and William Miller, co-editors of The Reference Librarian<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj1y7Od94vVAhUE7SYKHZZcAnwQFggmMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tandfonline.com%2Floi%2Fwref20&usg=AFQjCNHfJFz41Cu1jTXX3mlDGaImNJPvFQ> are interested in exploring the possibility of publishing a special issue featuring selected authors of posters/presentations from the 2017 FACRL Conference.
While I am extremely interested in providing this opportunity to our conference contributors, I communicated to Lauri and William that we are early in the submission phase and at the moment I am not in a position to judge if the quality or quantity of submissions would support a special issue.  Lauri and William are willing to provide additional time to assess submissions and gauge author interest.  In the interim, they have given permission to promote the possibility of future publication along with the call for proposals.
I write seeking your approval to add the following statement to the call for proposals:

Presentations and posters of superior quality may be considered for future publication in a special issue of The Reference Librarian<https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj1y7Od94vVAhUE7SYKHZZcAnwQFggmMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tandfonline.com%2Floi%2Fwref20&usg=AFQjCNHfJFz41Cu1jTXX3mlDGaImNJPvFQ>, a major refereed journal published by Taylor and Francis.

Certainly, we do not want to imply a promise of publication, but to encourage the submission of presentations and posters of superior quality that may be worthy of post-conference expansion into an academic publication. Your suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Best regards,
