Call for Proposals!
In the spirit of the 21st Access Conference, this year’s theme is Growing in the 21st Century. We’re well into the 21stCentury. How have libraries adapted? What can we expect for the next 86 years? How can we develop our skills to plan for the future?
We’re looking for proposals that consider:
- Where we’ve come from, and how the plans of the past affect our present and future
- Where we’re going, considering current trends in future planning context
- Buzz topics such as big data, linked open data, evidence-based practice, the semantic web, open access, and other emerging trends
- Emerging tools and trends, and how to use them to build a new future for libraries
- The 21st Century library in context and the dynamic of the library. How do libraries fit in a larger institutional or community context? How do technical and discovery services fit within the overall library dynamic? How are we shaping this context?
