Call for Papers: Indigenous Librarianship

The Washington library community wants to hear from you! Share your voice by publishing in Alki: The Washington Library Association Journal. We welcome content from all library workers, students, supporters, volunteers, and trustees. We publish peer-reviewed articles, opinion pieces, creative writing, and art.

For far too long, American libraries have had problematic interactions with local tribes, reinforcing destructive colonial relationships or helping to perpetuate the mythology that Native peoples are “disappearing.”  December’s issue of Alki will publish pieces that center indigenous voices in our community, consider our relationships with local tribes, and highlight the practice of indigenous librarianship. Indigenous librarianship prioritizes the interests, practices, needs, and support of Indigenous people and can be practiced by both indigenous and non-indigenous librarians. Submissions could include the following:

  *   Art, opinion pieces, or articles written by indigenous members of our community
  *   Visual tours or spotlights on tribal libraries, museums, archives, or research centers
  *   Pieces highlighting programming and/or partnerships between libraries and local tribes, tribal members that center tribes, or tribal revitalization efforts
  *   Theoretical pieces on how libraries could support tribal sovereignty efforts
  *   Reports on how libraries have worked with local tribes to feature authentic Native arts in their physical or virtual spaces
  *   Articles or research on integrating indigenous language, knowledge, and information sharing in your library
  *   Research on critical concepts that non-Indigenous peoples need to know

Alki is a journal by and for the Washington library community. We accept submissions that may not fit our theme but are still important to our community. 

Email your submissions to alkieditor at wla<mailto:alkieditor at wla.org>.org by October 15, 2022. Submissions should be in a separate, email attachment (.doc, .docx, or Google Doc format) and include the following:

  *   Title
  *   Author name(s) and affiliation(s)
  *   Short, third-person bio and headshot of author(s)
  *   Text of article and citations using Chicago Manual of Style
  *   Images in .jpg or .png format with accompanying captions (please consider accessibility when writing your captions)
  *   Pull quotes or short selections of your article that you would like highlighted in larger print
  *   Any specific formatting requests

Ray Zill, the current Alki editor, is available to discuss ideas and expectations. Reach out by contacting her at alkieditor at wla.org<mailto:alkieditor at wla.org>. For inspiration, check out past issues of Alki<https://www.wla.org/alki-archives>.
