Call for Papers

Are you looking for a brief means to share how has COVID-19 impacted you? Do you feel you have learned something through the challenges brought on by COVID-19 that might be helpful to other librarians? Has COVID-19 led your library to providing innovative services? How have you changed or innovated your services to meet the needs of your community? If any of these are true and you are looking for a means to share with the library community what you have learned, how you or your library has changed, or how you have innovated, please consider contributing to The Christian Librarian’s (TCL) forum in their spring 2021 issue, entitled: COVID-19 Impact.

TCL is an open-access publication (https://digitalcommons.georgefox.edu/tcl/) of the Association of Christian Librarians (ACL). While the focus of ACL is Christian Librarians, we would like to learn from everyone regarding how COVID-19 has led them to learning, innovation, and service. This forum is open to anyone desiring to share a brief (500-1000 words) statement regarding what they, their colleagues, their library, or their institution has learned from the incredible challenges that have been brought about to everyone due to COVID-19.

Please consider sharing your thoughts with TCL. Any questions in relation to COVID-19 Impact (TCL’s spring 2021 forum) can be addressed to: tcl@acl.org. TCL’s author guidelines (including submission information) are available at: http://www.acl.org/index.cfm/publications/the-christian-librarian/tcl-author-guidelines-4-24-18/ (please note that abstracts are *not* needed for the forum).

The submission deadline for COVID-19 Impact (TCL’s spring 2021 forum) is March 31^st, 2021.

If you have any questions, please feel free to either contact me directly or inquire at tcl@acl.org.

Thank you,

Garrett Trott
Editor-in-Chief of The Christian Librarian
