Call for Poster Sessions: Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries
The 2009 ACRL/NY Annual Symposium, “Emerging Leadership in Libraries” focuses on the importance of leadership in academic libraries today and the paths to achieving and sustaining it. This Symposium will address myriad questions of leadership: What does it take to be a leader? How do we mentor leaders within our institutions? How do we take charge of our own career paths? How do we move into leadership roles? We will open up discussions of leadership across the different stages of librarianship.
ACRL/NY invites you to submit a poster session proposal for the Symposium. It can address any issue related to this theme. Examples follow:
Professional collaboration
Management styles in libraries
Motivating/inspiring librarians
Getting yourself published
Experience in leadership development
Mentoring/mentoring programs
Creating new roles
Moving into leadership roles
Promoting yourself
