The Library History Round Table (LHRT) of the American Library Association
(ALA) seeks papers for its Research Forum at the 2017 ALA Annual Meeting in
Chicago, June 22-27, 2017. The theme of the Forum will be historical
perspectives on the intersection between alternative literacies and
libraries. Topics may include, but are not limited to, historical studies of
the intersection between libraries and :
Practical literacy : accessing, evaluating, and using informational
materials for practical purposes
Functional literacy : literacy skills that allow the individual to function
in a particular community
Document literacy : accessing, understanding, and using documents in various
forms
Cultural literacy : understanding one's own culture
Multicultural literacy : understanding the culture of others
LHRT welcomes submissions from researchers of all backgrounds, including
students, faculty, and practitioners. Proposals are due on March 1, 2017.
Each proposal must give the paper title, an abstract (up to 500 words), and
the scholar's one-page vita. Also, please indicate whether the research is
in-progress or completed. It is desirable that the abstract include a
problem or thesis, as well as a statement of significance, objectives,
methods/primary sources used for the research, and conclusions (or tentative
conclusions for works in progress).
From the submissions, the LHRT Research Committee will select several
authors to present their completed work at the Forum. The Research Forum
will likely occur on Sunday, June 26, 2017. All presenters must register to
attend the conference. For registration options, see ALA's events and
