If you are passionate about academic libraries and would like to share ideas and lead a discussion at the ALA Annual Conference, please consider submitting a proposal. Submissions should be sent to Christine Tobias, Group Convener, at tobiasc@mail.lib.msu.edu by Friday, April 19th at 5pm EDT. Since the selection will use a blind review process, submissions should consist of a cover page with the presenter’s name, title, institution, and email address, and a second page containing the proposal only (title, topic, summary or proposed presentation/discussion). 500 words or less, please.
The selected presenter will be notified by Wednesday, May 1. The ACRL-ULS Current Topics Discussion Group meeting will convene on Saturday, June 30, 2013, from 10:30am - 11:30am.
