CFP: ALCTS Poster Session for 50th conference (Washington D.C., June 20, 2007)
Deadline: April 2, 2007
The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) seeks proposals for a poster session to be held during the 50th ALCTS Anniversary Conference, June 20 and 21, 2007, in Washington, D.C. The poster session will be held Wednesday, June 20.
The ALCTS Conference, "Interactive Futures: A National Conference on the Transformation of Library Collections & Technical Services," will engage attendees in a thought-provoking, open, and participatory exchange on the transformation of our work and our profession.
In keeping with the conference theme, poster session proposals should focus on a transformative change or an innovation in any area of library collections or technical services work for monographs, serials, or electronic resources, whether in collection development and management, cataloging, acquisitions, or preservation. Poster sessions may document a change that has been implemented, or may suggest an innovation or describe a trend likely to affect change in the philosophy or practice of our profession.
This poster session offers a unique opportunity for beginning career librarians and veteran librarians, for library support staff, and for students, to address the future in which all attendees will work in a most stimulating setting. More than 250 attendees are expected; featured conference speakers are library leaders and provocative thinkers like Susan Nutter, David Lankes, Stephen Abram and Richard Lanham.
The deadline for poster session submissions is Monday, April 2. The ALCTS conference committee will review all submissions for appropriateness of theme, for quality of content, and for quality of presentation. Applicants will be notified by May 1. Please see the ALCTS 50th Anniversary web site for more information on the conference, and for a submission form for poster session applications.
