We are currently planning the College and University Business Libraries (CUBL) Section Breakfast for the 2013 SLA Annual Conference in San Diego and are issuing this call for presenters.
This year's Breakfast theme will be “Strategic Partnerships in Academic Business Librarianship—Making Connections That Make Sense.”
Librarians are increasingly finding (or making) opportunities to work with new groups and audiences. Sometimes those groups expand our horizons and take our service offerings in new directions. Have you and/or your unit established a strategic relationship with an organization or group outside of the library, and beyond your normal outreach to business students and faculty? Do you collaborate on business-related programming, collections, or services with administrative offices on campus, or public or private organizations off-campus, or other? If so, please consider sharing your experiences with your colleagues at the CUBL Breakfast!
If you are interested in speaking for 15 minutes or so on this topic, please send me a brief description (1-2 paragraphs) on your proposed talk no later than Friday, January 25, 2013. Presenters will be notified by February 22, 2013. Presentations will be due in final form by June 3, 2013.
I look forward to hearing from you!
