[CODE4LIB] Call for chapter proposals: Cross-­Border Librarianship in North America

[Dan Scott]

A friend of mine is co-editing a book on "Cross-­Border Librarianship in
North America" that (honestly!) sounds like it would make a great
contribution to the professional librarianship literature in the context of
Canada, US, and Mexico--assuming that he can get contributors to write
chapters about their experiences in crossing the border to work under NAFTA.

If this sounds like you, and you want to share your experience (be it as
warning or as encouragement!), he and his co-editor are accepting chapter
proposals until June 1.

A complete description of the book, and further details about the
submission process, are at
