The ACRL ULS Professional Development Committee (PDC) welcomes proposals for online programs that further ACRL members’ professional development, knowledge, and practice. Proposals should be grounded in theory and/or practice. We encourage the use of panels and multiple presenter models to convey a variety of viewpoints. Presenters are responsible for recruiting their own co-presenters and panelists. Proposals for programs led by an individual presenter are also accepted. Programs usually run one hour, including time for questions, and are offered via Zoom.
All proposals will be considered, however, we are particularly interested in programs addressing the following topics in 2020-2021:
Evolving Models for Public Services and Learning Spaces
Critical Librarianship, Diversity and Inclusion, and Social Justice in Academic Libraries
Scholarly Communications
Data Management and Visualization
Changing Roles of Liaison Librarians and Functional Experts
Digital Scholarship
Assessment and Learning Analytics
Identifying and Developing Future Leaders
Complete the following form to submit an online program proposal. To receive full consideration for the 2020-2021 programming year, submissions should be received by Wednesday, September 25th, 2020. Please submit proposals here.
Please direct questions to Samantha Harlow or Laura Gariepy, Chairs of the ACRL ULS Professional Development Committee, at lwgariepy@vcu.edu and slharlow@uncg.edu. The Committee’s prior programs can be found here.
