Chapter Length: Chapter authors will discuss small-scale efforts and decisions that can be implemented at the ground level that accumulate to create larger scale changes, as evidenced by their own experiences. Final chapters should be 3,000 to 5,000 words.
Citations: This edited volume will be published by ACRL Press. Per ACRL, citations should be formatted in the Chicago Manual of Style endnotes and bibliography format. Footnotes can be used sparingly and only for explanatory text. Here's a good quick guide for reference.
Charts, graphs, bulleted lists, photos, and other illustrations or enhancements of your content are welcomed and encouraged! Charts and graphs can be created directly in the Word document, or as separate Excel or other files such as Adobe Illustrator, as long as their placement is labelled within the manuscript and the separate file is named accordingly. For instance, if it’s the third figure in your chapter, place [[LAST NAME FIGURE 3 HERE]] where you’d like it to appear in the manuscript, and name the separate file [LAST NAME] FIGURE 3. For photos, please keep them separate from the manuscript, label their placement in the manuscript, and name the file according to the system above.
Authors are responsible for securing permissions for any figure or image they would like to reuse that was not created by them nor in the public domain. Please contact ACRL’s Content Strategist for permissions forms if needed.
