Call for Posters
Theme:
Agility in Business Librarianship
Location:
2012 SLA Annual Conference – Chicago, IL
Date/Time: Monday July 16th –
4:00pm – 5:30pm
In this call for posters, the Business and Finance Division
of SLA is providing an opportunity for business librarians to share ideas and
develop research collaborations. Over the last few years both public and
private organizations have had to make difficult choices among people, services
and resources. We are looking for case studies or practical applications on how
business librarians are integrating “agility” into their work including:
• Services
or standards that promote agility
• Agile
approaches to business information education
• Assessment
of agile initiatives
• Librarian
/ faculty / college collaboration
• Utilizing
new technologies for increased staff agility
• Business
information education in multi-disciplinary contexts
•
Outsourcing / insourcing / co-sourcing / offshoring / multisourcing
services/resources
• Using
agility to promote business research services
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 Chicago, July 2012.
This session is sponsored by the Business & Finance
Division and the College & University Business Libraries Section.
