SEMLOL (Southeastern Michigan League of Libraries) http://www.semlol.org/ is preparing a program for the Fall meeting on the value of academic libraries. We welcome presentation proposals broadly related to the topic as outlined in the ACRL white paper "The Value of Academic Libraries: A Comprehensive Research Review and Report" http://www.acrl.ala.org/ value/?page_id=21.
Proposals could focus on ways to measure or capture the value of library services using a range of approaches (from the most systematic, comprehensive ones to the most holistic, situated ones), as well as on demonstrating and communicating value to different audiences. Best practices, case studies, projects, and creative ideas are all welcome.
The Fall SEMLOL meeting will take place on November 21st, 2014, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. at Madonna University. Presentations can be 30 to 60 minutes long, including time for questions.
To submit a presentation proposal, please send a title, name of speaker(s), and an abstract of no more than 250 words tosemlol.board@gmail.com by August 1st. Accepted proposals will be notified by the end of August.
