CFP: Lightning Talks - Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) at ALCTS Virtual Interest Group Week, June 8-12, 2020

The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) of ALCTS seeks presenters for lightning talks for its session at ALCTS Virtual Interest Group Week, June 8-12, 2020. We're looking for quick, bite-size (5-10 minutes) talks on what creative ideas and practices you're currently implementing or hoping to undertake soon. We welcome talks on how you're adapting workflows or taking on entirely new projects for the rapidly-changing work environment of the covid-19 pandemic, but we also welcome non-pandemic topics, such as projects you recently wrapped up or ongoing maintenance efforts.

Housed within the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services division of ALA, the Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group was created to provide a forum to discuss issues related to the evolution of technical services. The group is especially interested in exploring the interdependency between departments and the ways in which technical services affects, and is affected by, technology and publishing trends.

Please submit your proposal to the Interest Group’s chair, Jenny Maddox Abbott (maddox5@illinois.edu), and vice-chair, Sarah Hovde (sehovde1@gmail.com), by Tuesday, May 26, 2020, and include the following:

• Presentation title 
• Short presentation summary (less than 150 words) 
• Name, title, affiliation, and email address for all presenters

Presenters will be notified of acceptance by Friday, May 29, 2020. Specific day and time of the session TBD.
