The Handbook for Institutional Research
Call for Authors
The AIR Publications Committee, in association with Jossey-Bass Publishing, is planning to publish The Handbook for Institutional Research in 2011. This substantial volume will address many of the key areas of the IR profession.
While the list of specific topics is still developing, we are beginning to identify chapter authors. If you are interested in writing or co-authoring a chapter, or suggesting an author that might write or contribute to a specific chapter, please contact Rich Howard at: rdhoward@umn.edu by December 1, 2009. Please be aware that the posted deadline dates for writing, editing, and rewriting are critical for timely and successful publication.
The success of this book depends upon contributions from experts across the profession, and we need your help to bring these elements together.
The Production Timeline appears below. To review the proposed content, see the Handbook Outline. For more information, contact Rich Howard at rdhoward@umn.edu.
