	Call for Book Chapter Proposals 

	Experiential learning in academic and research libraries 

	The editor of the forthcoming Chandos Publishing book Experiential
learning in academic and research libraries: Its importance and
applications, to be published mid-2016, seeks chapter proposals from
librarians who have used experiential learning to transform their
collections and services, while creating collaborative synergies to support
institutional mission and student success.  The book will be a
“one-stop-shop” for libraries looking to ground their experiential
learning programs and services on a sure footing, and will suggest unique
and exciting ways to add experiential learning to the library’s
offerings.  Chapters are sought which highlight programs, services, or
resources that are grounded in experiential learning and which benefit
academic library users and/or contribute to student success. 

	Proposals on relevant experiential programs from other library types may
also be considered, as well as international or global perspectives
(including Native/Indigenous/First Nations).  No previously published
material, please.
	Topics may include: 

	Integrating experiential learning into information literacy curricula 

	Experiential learning outcomes and assessment 

	Learning communities 

	Freshman Year Experience courses and library instruction 

	Intersections of experiential/constructivist learning theories and
