The Greater New York Metropolitan Chapter of ACRL (ACRL/NY) is soliciting poster proposals for its Annual Symposium which will be held on December 1, 2017 at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY).
The theme of this year’s symposium is exploring the mission of academic and research libraries in the 21st century information environment.
Poster proposals can be submitted online at https://acrlny2017symposium.
We are interested in case studies and concrete examples of ways in which the changing information landscape has and will continue to affect the mission of academic and research libraries.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
· Information literacy, students, and crises of authority in the contemporary information world
· The academic librarian as research advisor
· Educating new librarians for the 21st century academic library mission
· Challenges related to preservation, accessibility and discoverability of research-valuable information.
Selection will be done by a blind review; please do not include any identifying information in your abstract. Proposals can be submitted at https://acrlny2017symposium.
Proposals for posters must be received by Monday, September 4th.
The symposium will be held on Friday, December 1st at the Baruch College Vertical Campus, 55 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10010. Successful candidates will be notified by early October.
On the day of the Symposium, you will be expected to arrive by 8:30 am, set up by 9:00 am and stay through the end of the day (3:45 pm).
