Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)

CFP: IUG 2010 (Chicago)
Just a reminder about our call for program and forum proposals for the Annual Innovative Users Group 2010 Conference to be held in Chicago, Illinois from Sunday, April 18th through Wednesday, April 21, 2010. The deadline to submit program proposals is Friday, November 13, 2009; only 17 days away!
To submit a program and/or forum proposal, go to the Conference webpage listed below. When prompted, login with your own personal MyIUG login; do not use your institutional credentials. If you don't already have one, go to http://www.innovativeusers.org/sitemember-register-form
to create your account.

IUG 2010 Proposal Form: http://www.innovativeusers.org/sitemember-app?goto=http://conferences.innovativeusers.org/index.php/IUG2010/IUG2010/user
If you would like to present a program or forum (or two), but do not know what might be of interest to colleagues from other Innovative libraries, take a look at the Suggested Topics Page that has been compiled over the past few years; included in this list are a multitude of responses submitted to the IUG 2009 Conference survey in Anaheim, CA.
We aim for a variety of programs: basic to advanced, every library type, how you use various Innovative modules, and how you use other programs in conjunction with Innovative software. The topics list is not meant to be exhaustive. Some topics have been duplicated (as appropriate) under separate categories for your convenience. If you have an idea of your own and don't see it listed, please submit a proposal anyway; you just may find that you have the experience and ideas to share!
You may also be interested in coordinating a panel discussion, but don't have all of the presenters lined up. It's perfectly fine to have some TBA's at this stage. The Program Committee can work with you to help identify potential co-presenters.
If you have presented or coordinated at past IUG programs, please consider resubmitting a proposal for this year. Many comments from recent IUG conferences attest to the fact that it is impossible to attend every program that our users would like to hear; having another chance to see popular programs is always appreciated.
There are also a large number of regional user group meetings taking place this fall that offer an excellent variety of programs. If you are presenting in one of these regional conferences, please consider repeating your program at the annual meeting, so many more colleagues can learn from your experiences.
Again, the deadline for submitting program and forum proposals is Friday, November 13, 2009. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and/or comments; we welcome ALL feedback about the program process. We look forward to seeing all of your fantastic proposals!
Best - Pat

CFP: IUG at ALA Midwinter (Boston, 2010)
http://www.innovativeusers.org
Are you attending ALA Midwinter in Boston? Each year at ALA Midwinter IUG holds an afternoon meeting for IUG members. Our next meeting is January 15, 2010, 2-5pm in Boston, MA.
I am still looking for two more presenters. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to present at this meeting. We're a friendly crowd.
Would you like to do a group presentation? Or one by yourself? It can be 30 minutes or an hour. This is a great time to share something innovative you are doing with your Innovative system. Doing something new and different you would like to share? Web 2.0? Breaking out of a mold? Encore? AirPAC? Technology planning?
If you are local to the Boston area, all the better. We like to showcase local talent.
There is no cost for the meeting and you do not need to register for ALA to attend or present at our meeting.

IUG 2007 Call for Poster Sessions (Deadline, Friday March 2, 2007)
IUG 2007, San Jose, California
May 15-17, 2007 (Pre-conference – May 14th)
Poster Sessions Non-Compete Time, Tuesday May 15th, 2007, 11-12noon after the
opening session.
The IUG 2007 Program Committee is happy to announce a Call for Posters for the upcoming meeting in San Jose, May 14th – 17th, 2007.
The IUG 2007 Program Committee seeks IUG members to prepare a poster sessions for a project, resource, workflow, tutorial, practice (well, just about anything), that will illustrate effective or creative ways that we have used the Innovative System. There will be non-compete time for poster sessions immediately following the opening session and the poster should remain up through the rest of the conference (although you will not be required to stand by the poster after the non-compete time). During the initial period, it is hoped that you would be able to stand by your poster and provide brief summaries of your project as people visit.
If you would like to prepare a poster for IUG 2007, please use this web form to submit your entry:
http://innovativeusers.org/iug2007/poster-req.html
This will be reviewed by the Program Committee and we will be contacting you by March 9th about having the poster included in the conference.
Please fill out the above web form with your poster session information. Also, given the tight schedule, we will be using the submitted information for the printed program. You can also submit up to five additional people who worked on the project with you.
Information on the poster sessions will be posted soon. The most important thing to remember is that the boards that we are using for posters will provide you with a 4' x 8' space, but does not include a table this year.
On behalf of the IUG program and steering committees, thanks for submitting this proposal for IUG 2007 Poster Sessions.
Sincerely,
