CALL FOR PAPERS
REFERENCE SERVICES FOR THE ADULT LEARNER: CHALLENGING
ISSUES FOR THE TRADITIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ERA
I am inviting you to write an article for a special issue
of the journal, The Reference Librarian. The theme for
this issue is reference services for the adult learner.
There has been and continues to be an increase in the
number of adult learners in institutions of higher
learning. Public Libraries continue to serve and educate
the adult learner in diverse ways. How do we serve these
learners whose needs may be different from the mainstream
library patron?
I am looking for contributors who can write about some of
the following issues. Contributors can also come up with
issues they think we should include in the special issue.
Learning Styles of the Adult Learner
Adult Learning Theories - Andradogy, etc.
The Complex Nature of Adult Learning
Adult Literacy Programs: A Challenge for Reference
Librarianship
The After 5PM Syndrome: Flexible Schedules to
Accommodate the Adult Learner
Successful Reference Service Models That Have
Worked for the Adult Learner
Computers in Reference Service - Making Adult
Learners Get the Best Out the Emerging Technologies
The Distant Education Learner - Effective Reference
and Instructional Services
The Information Explosion/Overload -Continuing
Implications for Reference Services to the Adult
Learner
The Disabled --Learning and Physical- Adult
Learner: Customizing Reference Services to Meet
His/Her Need.
The International Adult Learner
Reference Services for the Adult Learner: Views
from Students, Deans, Other Campus Administrators
