CFP: Academic Library Association of Ohio’s Distance Learning Interest Group (DLIG) 2011 Spring Workshop

The Academic Library Association of Ohio’s Distance Learning Interest Group (DLIG) is pleased to announce that the 2011 Spring Workshop, INOV8: Revitalizing Distance Learning, is scheduled for Friday, May 13, 2011, at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio. The workshop will focus on ways to revitalize your approach to distance learning by looking at current practices, emerging technologies and trends, and possibilities for the future.

We are accepting proposals for presentations that will motivate and inspire our distance learning colleagues. We especially welcome submissions that feature innovative use of freely available technologies, successful strategies for connecting to our students and faculty, or tips for librarianship in learning management systems or online courses.

Proposals should be 250-400 words in length and include a very brief bio of the presenter(s), as well as links to any publicly viewable electronic materials referenced. The DLIG Planning Committee will select from the proposals submitted. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 31, 2011. More details are on the ALAO website (http://www.alaoweb.org/)

To submit a proposal, please email:
