Call for Posters: “Business Information Literacy” (SLA Annual Conference)
Location: SLA Annual Conference – Washington, 2009
Date/Time: Monday, June 15, 2009 – 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
Business is everywhere. As a result, business information literacy is crucial to success in almost every aspect of daily life in academic, corporate or public library environments.
In this call for posters, the Business and Finance Division of SLA is providing an opportunity for business librarians to share ideas on this important topic. We are looking for case studies or practical applications on a wide range of issues including:
• Standards and competencies for business information literacy
• Pedagogic approaches to business information literacy education
• Assessment of learning outcomes
• Integrating business information literacy in the curriculum
• Librarian / faculty collaboration
• New technologies for teaching business information literacy
• Business information literacy in multi-disciplinary contexts
• Professional development for business information literacy
• Promoting business information literacy in the corporate environment
Help your colleagues learn from your work, both successful and unsuccessful. Share the results of your efforts at the upcoming poster session at SLA in Washington, June 2009.
This session is sponsored by the Business & Finance Division. Guidelines for materials and layout of poster presentations are available on the SLA Business & Finance Division website at http://units.sla.org/division/dbf/conferences/2009conference_posters.html
The deadline for abstract submissions is March 1, 2009. Please submit your name, institution, fax, email address, poster title, and description (250 words or less) by email, fax, or surface mail to Karen MacDonald at the address given below.
