Bridging the Spectrum:
The 12th Annual Symposium on Scholarship and Practice
Time: Friday, February 14, 2020.
Place: Pryzbyla Student Center, Catholic University of America
The Symposium Planning Committee invites researchers, practitioners and students to submit proposals for the 2020 Bridging the Spectrum Symposium, a forum for sharing research findings, best practices, and works in progress in library and information science. The submission system is now open at http://cuaslis.org/
The Symposium will include three types of presentations: briefings, panels, and posters. Briefings are 15-minute descriptions of an innovative practice, project, or research activity. There will be morning and afternoon briefing sessions.
Authors can organize panels of speakers to present and discuss a theme or a topic. Panels are typically one hour in length.
Posters are exhibits describing a practice, project, or research activity. Posters will be viewable throughout the day, and there will be a lightning talk during which presenters will highlight their projects. In addition, poster presenters will attend a poster session to discuss their work with attendees.
The submission system is open at http://cuaslis.org/
Proposal topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Community engagement and outreach, including marketing and advocacy for library and information services
- Information services against misinformation and propaganda
- New developments in information organization (linked data, semantic web, etc.)
- Preservation and management of born-digital and digitized resources
- Management and analysis of data and information
- Library networks and international collaboration
- Technology trends and impact on information services
- Management of information services in cultural institutions
