CFP: Code4Lib 2010: Prepared Talk Proposals
The Code4Lib 2010 conference
Code4Lib 2010 is a conference for library technologists to commune, gather/create/share ideas and software, be inspired, and forge collaborations. It is also an outgrowth of the Access HackFest, wrapped into a conference-like format. It is *the* event for technologists building digital libraries and digital information systems, tools, and software.
The conference will be held Monday February 22nd (preconference day) - Thursday February 25th, 2010 in Asheville, NC. More information can be found at http://code4lib.org/conference/2010/.
Prepared talks
Prepared talks are 20 minutes, and must focus on one or more of the following areas:
* "tools" (some cool new software, software library or integration platform)
* "specs" (how to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones)
* "challenges" (one or more big problems we should collectively address)
The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:
* usefulness
* newness
* geekiness
* diversity of topics
We cannot accept every prepared talk proposal, but multiple lightning talk sessions should provide everyone who wishes to present with an opportunity to do so.
Schedule
Proposals can be submitted through November 13. Voting will commence soon thereafter and be open through December 1st. Successful candidates will be notified by December 3rd. The submitter (and if necessary a second presenter) will be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference through December 21st.
Guidelines for Proposals and Submissions
Proposal abstracts must be no longer than 500 words. Include your name and email address. All proposals should be submitted on the wiki page at http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2010talks_Submissions

CFP: Entrepreneurism in Libraries
CFP: Entrepreneurism in Libraries
To all Librarians, Entrepreneurs, and Innovators:
We seek pioneers, adventurers and inventors to tell their stories. The libraries of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Wake Forest University are organizing a conference entitled, "Inspiration, Innovation, Celebration: an Entrepreneurial Conference for Librarians".
We strive to provide a forum for you to share your path to change.
Conference dates: June 3rd and 4th, 2009 in the Elliott University Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
The mission for this conference is threefold:
1) To share and celebrate entrepreneurial accomplishments in libraries
2) To inspire each other to innovate in our libraries
3) To create a community of interested librarians who will perpetuate the discussion beyond the conference
Entrepreneurial activity may have taken place in areas such as: instruction, services, processes, facilities or resources, but this list is not exhaustive. We're interested in hearing about your process and the successful presentation could include the following:
* Identification of an unmet need or development of an innovative approach that extends the scope of service
* A non-traditional approach to fulfilling our mission as libraries
* A description of how a solution was designed and implemented including any obstacles that were encountered (financial, structural, human...)
* A discussion of lessons learned or what you would do differently next time and the project's current status
* A description of the keys to success
* A tone that inspires us all to become more entrepreneurial in our libraries, however small the project
Format:
* Sessions should be one hour in length to include 45 minute presentation with 15 minutes for Q&A.
* We will accept panel discussions
Timing:
* If interested, submit a letter of intent - a one paragraph description of your presentation - immediately. Those who submit a letter of intent by September 1st will receive priority consideration.
* Please submit your final proposal by 5:00 pm on Monday 1 November 2008; it should include a detailed outline of the presentation with a textual description of the entrepreneurial project.
* Photos, drawings or other multi-media aids are welcome; display space will be available at the conference.
* Invitations to present will be delivered by mid-December
* Send your submission to:
