[Courtney McAllister]

Greetings,

Given the wide-ranging disruptions caused by COVID-19, we are extending the
deadline for submissions until *May 8, 2020*. We understand that our entire
community and the users we serve are facing unique challenges. If you are
interested in participating in this special issue, but would like
additional time or other consideration, please do not hesitate to reach out
to us. We will do our best to accommodate.

Proposals are currently being accepted for a special issue of The Serials
Librarian (https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/wser20) focused on the complex
interrelationship between libraries, data, and privacy.

This issue, guest edited by Heather Staines and Doreen Bradley, will
feature new scholarship about the following topic areas:


 Current Issues/Trends

   - Crisis Management, Privacy, and Security
   - Factoring Privacy into Disaster Planning
   - Learning Analytics
   - General Data Security
   - Threats to Data Security (i.e. Sci-Hub and Ransomware)
   - New Privacy Laws and their Impact on Campus

Faculty and Researcher Data

   - Ethical Data Management
   - Research and Identifiable Data
   - Access Barriers

Library Perspectives

   - Faculty, Staff, and Student Data
   - Determining Library Responsibility
   - Convenience vs. Privacy
   - Privacy Education
   - License Negotiations and Patron Privacy
   - Privacy and Library Assessment

Vendor and Publisher Perspectives

   - Data as Commodity
   - Data Portability and Privacy
   - Big data, AI, and Content Discovery

Future Challenges/Possibilities

   - New Tracking Technologies
   - Facial Recognition

This special issue will include the following content types:

   - Research paper (a well-documented description of original research or
   analysis. Research papers typically have lit reviews, outline a problem
   statement or methodology, and cite many other sources)
   - Case study (a description and reflection of a project, experiment, or
   process that one has first-hand experience with. Case studies can be
   scholarly, but do not need as much rigorous source mapping as a research
   paper)
   - Column (a thoughtful response to, or analysis of, a privacy-related
   topic. Columns can represent the author's own views and do not need a lit
   review or an abundance of cited sources)
   - Interview (a written Q&A exchange between an interviewer and one or
   more practitioners with relevant roles/experiences)
