Dear Colleagues,

Thanks,
Erin

Call for Papers:  Speak Up!--Communication between Academic Librarians and Scholarly Publishers
I invite you to submit brief abstracts (1-2 paragraphs) prior to September 4th, 2015 for the December/January 2015/2016 issue of Against the Grain<http://www.against-the-grain.com/>.
We are interested in a variety of perspectives and combinations of perspectives.  Distributors, publishers, vendors, consultants, library patrons, and library workers are encouraged to send your ideas to egallagher at rollins.edu<mailto:egallagher at rollins.edu>.
We're particularly interested in:

*         best (or worst) practices from the library side and from the scholarly publisher/vendor/provider side.  What works and what doesn't?  How did you arrive at these realizations?

*         how do libraries take advantage of fruitful publisher relationships to negotiate for better pricing/license terms/etc.?

*         how relationships between libraries and publishers have evolved as a result of models like evidence-based acquisition, demand-driven acquisition, "big deal" packages, pay-per-view, etc.

*         how librarians have adopted concrete policies or even created specific positions in the library to deal with publisher communications.

*         how consortia handle publisher communications.

*         perspectives on the future of library/publisher communications and how we can improve even further.
