The Call for Speakers for Big Talk From Small Libraries 2023 is open!

This free one-day online conference is tailored for staff from small libraries; the smaller the better!

We are looking for speakers from small libraries or speakers who directly work with small libraries. Small libraries of all types – public, academic, school, museum, special, etc. – are encouraged to submit a proposal. We’re looking for seven 50-minute presentations and four 10-minute “lightning round” presentations.

Do you offer a service or program at your small library that other librarians might like to hear about? Have you implemented a new (or old) technology, hosted an event, partnered with others in your community, or just done something really cool? The Big Talk From Small Libraries online conference gives you the opportunity to share what you’ve done, while learning what your colleagues in other small libraries are doing.

Here are some possible topics to get you thinking:

• Unique Libraries
• Special Collections
• New buildings
• Fundraising
• Improved Workflows
• Staff Development
• Advocacy Efforts
• Community Partnerships
• That great thing you’re doing at your library!

Submit your proposal by Friday, December 16, 2022. 

Speakers from libraries serving fewer than 10,000 people will be preferred, but presentations from libraries with larger service populations will be considered.

Big Talk From Small Libraries 2023 will be held on Friday, February 24, 2023 between 8:45 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service. Speakers will present their programs from their own desktops. The schedule will accommodate speakers’ time-zones.

“TILC is my favorite conference of the year. It's organized well, but great people, and I always learn something new from every presentation I attend!"- past attendee

​“If you are an instruction librarian, these are your people! I love the spirit of creativity, innovation, and sharing that this conference offers to librarians who are teachers."- another participant's feedback 

We are now accepting proposals for TILC 2023.

Our theme this year is "What Informs Your Pedagogy?” This could include exploring questions like: What beliefs drive your practice? What factors affect your teaching? How do you approach or plan for teaching in the library classroom? We also welcome proposals which discuss evidence-based pedagogy, such as critical pedagogy, trauma-informed pedagogy, reflective, collaborative, inquiry-based, and others.

We hope this theme will help you brainstorm ideas, but we will welcome any proposals related to innovative practices related to teaching and learning in libraries. TILC attendees especially appreciate stories of practical application.

Proposals are invited for three different session types:

• 2- hour pre-conference workshop (presented Thursday afternoon before the poster session)
• Posters (presented at the Thursday evening social)
• 50-minute presentations
• 7- minute lightning talks

Proposals will be peer reviewed and then selected by the conference organizers to ensure that TILC offers sessions on a range of topics from a diverse set of institutions and presenters. Note that you may be invited to present in a format other than the one you proposed.
