Katherine and I are collecting proposals for a forthcoming ALA book on planned abandonment in libraries. DUE DEC 15th.
Have you a planned to abandon or change a legacy service, resource or space? Did you use strategies or methods that other librarians can learn from?

Here is the formal call:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

CALL FOR CASE STUDIES

* *

ALA EDITIONS BOOK: CALL FOR CASE STUDIES/PROPOSALS

* *

Abandon all Fear: assessing, evaluating and letting go of legacy
services (forthcoming 2013)

* *

We invite proposals for case studies to be published in a forthcoming
ALA Editions book Abandon all Fear: assessing, evaluating and letting
go of legacy services, an edited collection of case studies examining
how librarians in all types of organizations are responding and
adapting to cataclysmic budgetary and programming changes.

* *

The book will be edited by Mary Evangeliste, owner of the consulting
collaborative Fearless Future and Katherine
Furlong, Director for Access and Technical Services for the libraries
of Lafayette College

* *

Have you had to change, adapt, even abandon services, spaces or
programs in light of the recent economic conditions? We’re looking
for case studies focusing on how libraries of all types are changing
and adapting service models to let go of obsolete or less useful
programs. Given the current economic climate, libraries can no longer
afford to maintain the status quo. But instead of reacting in a
panicked fashion to budgetary and staffing challenges, librarians can
choose a measured, proactive response. If you think you’ve found a
new means of being relevant to your users, please share your story.

We welcome proposals from librarians, library administrators,
trustees, faculty or other partners both individually and as teams.
The proposal should consist of an abstract of 500 words together with
all author contact information. Please include in proposal the issue
faced, the strategies and assessments used to examine the issue and
the result. Case studies should run at least ten double-spaced pages

Thanks for your interest in Katherine and my paper from ACRL! Just wanted to tell everyone that we just got approved by ALA to start collecting stories of Planned Abandonment in all kinds of libraries to create a book. We know from the interest in our session that many people are ready to talk about this! So if you know of any librarians who has used this method please write me. And yes Will I can imagine when we are compiling the book that we will be able to create the kind of list you are thinking of.

I’m planning on watching your virtual session sometime soon. If you get the chance, you should watch our session called “In the Spirit of Ben Franklin: The 13 Virtues of the Next-Gen Librarian.” I mention you and the renovation project that you folks have going on.

I’m really excited about all the virtual sessions going up. There were so many good ones that I couldn’t get to even close to all the ones I wanted.

Also, the slidecasts (PPTs with synched audio for contributed papers, Cyber Zed Shed, invited paper and panels) should be posted on the Virtual Conference website (http://www.learningtimes.net/acrl/2011/) soon (along with all 12 of the recorded webcasts). You could have professional development for months, all included in your ACRL registration! Glad you got a lot out of it, and thanks for blogging for the rest of us!

And great insights on ACRL, as well as the link to Mary Evangeliste and Katherine Furlong’s paper on dropping services. Very interesting. I would be interested in seeing a top ten list of the top ten services/programs/technologies that are either being phased out, should be phased out, or are ideal for “Planned Abandonment” in libraries…
