[community] Call for Papers: Library Trends - Disabled Adults in Libraries

[Harnum, Alan]

Via one of my library world feeds: https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/library-trends/calls-papers - I would specifically highlight that they are seeking material from the perspective of users as well as those directly involved in the profession:

“Though scholarship about disabilities has been robust in various social science and humanities disciplines for decades, libraries have been slow to theorize or systematically examine the experiences of dis/ability in libraries. This special issue will be geared toward the experience of being a Disabled adult in libraries, as user or worker. Through a mixture of empirical research, case studies, interviews, and theoretical papers, this issue will capture perspectives of Disabled members of our broad library community.”
