CFP: Joyner Library Paraprofessional Conference - Technology and Cyber Awareness - Conference May 11-13, 2021

 The J.Y. Joyner Library SHRA Assembly will host its Annual Paraprofessional Conference virtually May 11-13, 2021 (dates and times will be finalized by the number of proposals accepted). This year's online conference is a multi-day event aimed at providing instruction and information for library paraprofessionals in support of their work. We are celebrating our 17th consecutive annual conference with a focus on Technology & Cyber Awareness throughout academic, public, and professional library systems. At this time, the planning committee would like to extend a call for proposals.

  • Technology & Cyber Awareness is the 2021 conference theme. 
  • Adherence to the theme is suggested, but not mandatory, and a wide range of topics will be considered. 
  • Session lengths are 45 minutes and should include time left for discussion. 
  • The final conference schedule will be determined by the number of proposals accepted.
