Subject: [acrl2015] Promo reminder -- upcoming proposal submission deadline

 

Hi ACRL 2015 committee members,

The first deadline for ACRL 2015 conference submissions is approaching!  Contributed paper, panel session, preconference, and workshop proposals are due Friday, May 9.  We’re pushing out reminders via our ACRL promotion channels but would appreciate you sharing the reminder below with any appropriate regional/topical/type of library/etc. discussion lists.  In particular it would be great if we can hit tech services, community colleges, and other groups typically under-represented at ACRL conference and encourage submissions.  Can you please email me at mconahan@ala.org with the name of the list(s) you post to so I can track where the blurb has been sent? 

Many thanks!
Margot

Reminder – ACRL 2015 Proposal Submissions Due May 9

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) invites proposal submissions for the ACRL 2015 conference to be held March 25-28, 2015 in Portland, Oregon.  Contributed paper, panel session, preconference, and workshop proposals are due May 9, 2014.  Poster session, roundtable discussion, TechConnect, and Virtual Conference webcast proposals are due November 3, 2014.  Submit proposals via the online form available on the conference website.

The conference committee has created a set of conference tags to stimulate thinking and empower submitters to position proposals within the conference theme “Creating Sustainable Community.”  The tags will serve to create a unique conference ecosystem and guide attendees to themes of interest and inspiration. Tag and session format descriptions are available on the ACRL 2015 website.  The conference committee encourages submissions on a wide variety of topics and from all types of institutions.

Please review the ACRL 2015 Program Proposal Instructions before starting the submission process; we also invite you to view the ACRL 2015 Proposal Tips webcast.   Visit the ALA Connect Community if you are looking for like-minded people with whom to collaborate/propose a session.
