Collaborations on Campus: Opportunities for New Partnerships
WHEN: Friday, October 7, 2005 -- save the date!
The ninth annual October Conference for all New England academic librarians, sponsored by the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries.
FIRST CALL FOR PRESENTERS!
We are seeking presenters for the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries' ninth annual October Conference for New England Librarians! The topic this year is "Collaborations on Campus: Opportunities for New Partnerships." The Conference is scheduled for Friday, October 7, 2005. The day-long event will be held at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire (an easy two-hour drive from Boston, Springfield MA, and many other New England locations).
Working with others can bring fresh perspectives and new ideas--the whole really can be greater than the sum of its parts. Various units on our campuses also support faculty and students; when we share experience and insight, we are all enriched and enlivened.
We are seeking speakers to describe innovative collaborations they've developed with other campus entities. For example, have you and your IT department worked together to enhance your course management system? Do you plan your orientations with the first-year students office? Have you and a faculty member worked together to creatively incorporate library content into courses or the curriculum? Do you, with the international student office, provide special programs or training for international students? Do you work with your writing center to provide research training for the tutors?
Would you like to give an informal, brief presentation (30-45 minutes, including question/discussion time)? If so, please contact one of us (by telephone or email) by Friday, April 22. You don't have to have your presentation finished by then; you just need to be able to describe your presentation to us.
If you wouldn't give a presentation, yourself, but know of someone who might, we'd like to know that, too.
If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Bagley (Pamela.Bagley@dartmouth.edu, phone: 603-650-1894) or Karen Odato (Karen.Odato@dartmouth.edu, phone: 603-650-8562).
We have had between 70 and 120 participants at each of our eight previous October Conferences; we expect similar attendance this year.
