[Libs-Or] OLA Quarterly Summer 2016 - Call for submissions

[Pam North]

The Aspen Institute’s “Dialogue on Public Libraries” was created to help
advance the work that public libraries are doing to address community
challenges and to support the transformation of public libraries for the
digital age. The Dialogue concludes that the long-term health of libraries
is essential to the long-term health of the communities they serve and
identified four strategic opportunities for action to guide the continuing
transformation.

The Oregon Library Association Quarterly Summer 2016 issue will focus on
those four main themes:

• ALIGNING LIBRARY SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY GOALS
• PROVIDING ACCESS TO CONTENT IN ALL FORMATS
• ENSURING THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES
• CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP

We welcome submissions that speak to any of these areas. Please send a
brief summary (250 words or less) of your proposed article to
pamnorth1 at gmail.com by April 1, 2016. Co-editors Pam North and Ann Roseberry
will notify authors by April 15 and finished articles will be due by June
15, 2016.
