[Dspace-general] Call for Papers on the Role of Reference Librarians in Institutional Repository Projects

[Charles W. Bailey, Jr.]

Reference Services Review
(http://konstanza.emeraldinsight.com/vl=263326/cl=26/nw=1/rpsv/rsr.htm) 
is interested in considering articles that explore the role of
reference librarians in institutional repository projects
and the impact of such projects on their service provision efforts.    

Possible topics might include:

1. Do reference librarians act as change agents promoting IRs to
faculty, especially if they are also subject liaisons?

2. How do reference librarians integrate IRs into their information
literacy efforts in instructional and one-one-one interactions?

3. What special reference tools do reference librarians construct
to assist IR users, or how are IR materials integrated into existing
tools on Web sites, portals, or other technologies?

4. Have IRs changed reference librarians' jobs in unexpected ways?

Of course, you may well have other ideas about the impact of IRs
on reference functions, and they would also be welcome.

If you are interested in submitting a paper to this
well-established, peer-reviewed journal, contact the editor,
Ilene Rockman (irockman at calstate.edu).


Best Regards,
Charles
