and Research Libraries, invites you to submit a preliminary proposal for its CLIPP publication series. The preliminary proposal should contain a description of the project, a brief survey of the professional literature that would appear later in the literature
review, a pilot version of the survey, and a brief resume of the author(s) highlighting their qualifications regarding this topic. While we welcome proposals on any topic that is relevant for small and mid-sized academic libraries, here are some possible topics:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, "EmojiFont"; font-size: 11pt;">The CLIPP series allows library staff to share information on practices and procedures they have implemented to address common issues or concerns. Each CLIPP
follows a set structure of three parts (literature review, survey results and analysis, and sample documents), and should both describe library best practices and provide useful, specific examples that libraries can refer to when developing similar policies
and procedures of their own.</span><br>
