[Eril-l] Call for participation - international librarianship expericences

[Kate Holvoet]

Call for participation

Lara Seven Phillips (formerly of the University of the South Pacific, Fiji)
and Kate Holvoet (currently at Zayed University, in the UAE) are writing a
book on librarianship abroad; basically all the things we either learned
the hard way or wish someone had told us before we started. It is scheduled
to be published in December 2016 by ABC-CLIO/Libraries Unlimited.

We are looking to include anecdotes, advice, cautions, lessons learned,
etc. from other librarians who have worked abroad.  We want to hear from
people who work in all areas of librarianship, and at different kinds of
libraries.  We want our book to reflect a variety of international
experiences.  If you are interested in telling us about your experience,
please click on the Dropbox link, download the survey and return it to
kate.holvoet at gmail.com and lara7seven at gmail.com.

The questionnaire lists the kinds of things we're looking to find out about
your experience working internationally. You can be as brief or as thorough
as you like; please don't feel obligated to answer all the questions if
they either don't apply or you don't have anything to share on the topic.

We would appreciate having questionnaires returned by 31 January, 2016. If
not, feel free to pass our contact information to other American/Western
school librarians working internationally who you think might be interested
in participating.

I am happy to answer any questions about the book that you may have. I can
share the table of contents, a sample chapter, my own "personal narrative'
of my experience working abroad, or whatever else you might like to know
about the project.



The questionnaire is in both PDF and a word DOCX formats- please use
whichever is easiest for you (an email response is also fine).



Thanks in advance for your consideration!
