[LIBRARYDIR] Last Call: Upcoming CLAWS/ALD Conference in Ellensburg: Proposals Wanted!

[Bem, Greg]

Last call!

Time is ticking and we are closing in on the final proposal deadline for the joint CLAWS/ALD conference in March! This is a great opportunity to share work you are doing with colleagues around the state working in academic libraries.

The conference theme is Deep Roots, New Growth and if you are at all like me you love a good theme and will tailor your session title and description accordingly!

Deadline closes Tuesday, October 29th (TOMORROW!) so MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAF us a proposal!

Looking forward to seeing you all in March!

Cheers,

Greg

The conference theme of "Deep Roots, New Growth" seeks to cultivate the fruit of academic library work while staying grounded in an ever-changing library environment. We find ourselves at a crossroads of new and emerging ways of accessing information in academic libraries and continuously challenging the library image on campus, while also staying connected to the bedrock principles of libraries. How do we remain responsive to a changing student population, as well as increasing focus on diversity and inclusion? How can we grow with the culture of our campus patrons and rise to meet the future needs of teaching and learning? On behalf of Academic Library Division (ALD) and College Librarians Across Washington State (CLAWS) of WLA, we invite you to participate in our spring 2020 conference by submitting a proposal drawing on these themes.

Additionally:

  *   All conference sessions will be 60 minutes in length.
  *   Lightning Talk sessions will be 10 minutes in length.
  *   If provided, conference materials may be made available on the WLA website.
  *   Presenters are encouraged to seek advance approval from their employers for time away from work to present.

Proposals are due no later than Tuesday, October 29.
Applicants will be notified of their proposal status by Tuesday, November 12.

Please direct questions to the WLA office at info at wla.org<mailto:info at wla.org> or (206) 823-1138.
