Delaware Valley Chapter of ACRL, Spring 2020 Program
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - April 3, 2020
Call for Proposals: Working out loud: Reflections, revisions, & recipes
To innovate we need to practice a growth mindset where we feel free to take risks, experiment, and be creative. After our chapter’s programs, participants often say it was nice to hear about everything that went right, but what about learning from what went wrong? In our spring program, we will focus on the benefits of making the learning processes underlying librarianship more visible. We want to know about the challenges, compromises, revisions, and breakthroughs that you have experienced and grown from in your work in academic libraries. How have these given you the opportunity to take risks?
Please join us on April 3rd at Temple University’s brand new Charles Library for a day of professional development and learning how to “fail forward.”
Building tours of Charles Library will be offered.
We welcome submissions that concern but are not limited to the following areas:
- Technology Implementation
- Management
- Outreach/Community Engagement
- Teaching/Pedagogy
- User Experience
- Committee Work
- Research Design
- Archives
- Cataloging
- Assessment
