CFP: KLA-MPLA Joint Conference "Libraries: Dynamic People, Places & Ideas"
Has your library solved a problem that still plagues others? Have you discovered or heard about a better way than the same old way it's always been done before? Do you have insight or data that would help libraries become even more effective? See clarity where others find only confusion? If so, please share your solution, discovery, insight, data, or vision by presenting at the 2009 KLA-MPLA Joint Conference "Libraries: Dynamic People, Places & Ideas,"which will be held April 1-3, 2009 in Wichita, KS at the Hyatt Regency and Century II Convention Center.
To propose a program or pre-conference simply submit the online program proposal form by Oct 31, 2008 (http://www.kansaslibraryassociation.org/displayemailforms.cfm?emailformnbr=94133). A committee of five academic librarians will review all academic track proposals in early November and send notifications of acceptance by the end of the month. This is a continuation of the peer-review/jury process that was successfully implemented last year to enhance incentives for presenting at KLA's annual conference.
Questions about the conference or the proposal process should be sent to Laura Loveless, President of the Kansas Library Association, llove@kckpl.lib.ks.us
Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)
