[LM_NET] submit a paper to AERA REISL = due Friday, Aug. 1

[Me <wvmunadvisor@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello School Library Aficionados!
 
There is less than a week left to get your proposals in to present at the AERA 
REISL SIG sessions in San Diego next year = due this Friday, Aug. 1, at midnight.
 
Remember, a proposal is only a 2,000 word paper with a 150-word abstract.  You can 
do that easily!  Even if you are unsure of a submission, please send it in and let 
us take a look . . . the more submissions a SIG gets, the more sessions they are 
allowed.  We need you to let us know that you're interested, both practioners and 
professors alike (grad students also).
 
Submit your paper (or sign up to become a reviewer) at 
http://www.aera.net/meetings  before the week is over so that we can see you in San 
Diego.  Thanks again,
 
:) Michelle Kowalsky

Call for Participation: 2009 AERA conference 
Annual Special Interest Group (SIG) Meeting of the
Research, Education, Information, and School Libraries (REISL) SIG
April 13 - 17, San Diego, California 
 
SIG Chair: Patricia Montiel Overall, University of Arizona 
SIG Program Chair: Kafi Kumasi-Johnson, Indiana University at Bloomington
 
Are you currently working on a collaborative research project or other professional 
collaboration with someone who has a different disciplinary background than you? Of 
course you are! That is what the work of school library media professionals is 
essentially about—collaborating with educators from other disciplines to help 
improve student learning? Given AERA's 2009 theme: "Disciplined Inquiry: Education 
Research in the Circle of Knowledge", this is a wonderful time for school library 
researchers, practitioners and doctoral students to join with colleagues from other 
disciplines to share the work they are doing at the 2008 Annual Meeting REISL SIG 
of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). 
 
Moreover, the presence of school librarians is much needed in the larger education 
community. One way to accomplish this is by becoming a member of AERA. If you have 
a vested interest in school libraries, and are not currently a member of AERA, 
please help increase the voice of school library scholars by joining AERA. Regular 
membership dues are $120/year and Graduate Student Membership is $35/year. Also 
REISL SIG membership dues are $5 for one-year and $15 for three years. For more 
information about REISL, please visit the official website at

Call for Juried Papers
This call for papers seeks original contributions of proposals on any topic 
relevant to school libraries with special emphasis on papers related to the SIG 
theme. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Please follow the format required by the 
AERA for submitting proposals (see below).
 
Call for Posters (Practitioners and Doctoral Students Wanted!) 
Do you have interesting work in progress you would like to share? Poster sessions 
are for you! Poster sessions introduce new or ongoing work, and the REISL audience 
provides valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in 
presentations of practitioner and doctoral student work. Separate sessions will be 
held for practitioners and doctoral students provided that enough proposals are 
submitted through the format required by the AERA (see below)
 
Submission Information: DEADLINE, August 1, 2008
