Call for panelists - The Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation Section (MAES) of LLAMA
The Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation Section (MAES) of LLAMA is planning to host a panel program for ALA 2010 Conference in Washington DC, which will showcase how different libraries have used data to challenge library assumptions and long-held beliefs.
The program title is "Myth Busting: Using Data to Challenge Your Assumptions."
We want to include all types of libraries.
If you will be at ALA in 2010 and are interested in being on our program panel, please email Jan Sung (jansung@hawaii.edu) or Scott Britton (brittons@miami.edu) with a brief description of the data you have and how you found it "myth busting".

CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL PAPER SESSION (ALA Annual - Washington, D.C. 2010)
CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL PAPER SESSION (ALA Annual - Washington, D.C. 2010)
For more information, visit:
http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/iro/iroactivities/papersession.cfm
The American Library Association, International Papers Committee invites proposals for presentations to be made at the next ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC, June 24-29, 2010. Presentations will be delivered at the International Papers Session scheduled for Saturday, June 26, 2010.
The International Papers Program provides librarians with an opportunity to exchange information about library services, collections and projects throughout the world. The program also serves to stimulate the interest of U.S. librarians in international library matters. Through its International Papers Committee, ALA’s International Relations Round Table (IRRT) invites librarians to submit a presentation proposal. The 2010 International Papers Program theme is
Libraries as Gateways to Local History around the World
Libraries and librarians often create collections, provide resources, and develop programs and services specific to the local history of the communities they serve. Libraries also reflect the local history of which they are a part. Exhibits and programs, special collections, and genealogy services help to preserve the memory of the community and to keep the local history alive. Libraries may also collaborate with other local cultural heritage organizations (e.g., archives, museums, historical societies, etc.) to create content. Deeply embedded in the local history, libraries increasingly seek to open up this history and cultural heritage to the global community. This year’s program will explore successful projects and initiatives implemented by libraries around the world to preserve local history and to open up their cultural heritage to the global community.

CFP: LITA at ALA Annual, 2010
CFP: LITA at ALA Annual, 2010
LITA Committee Chairs, IG Chairs, and other technically inclined library folk,
This year, the LITA Program Planning Committee, in an effort to modernize the workflow for planning programs for ALA Annual, has moved the process entirely online! The following is the form that you can fill out if you are interested in proposing a program via LITA for ALA Annual 2010, June 24-30th in Washington, DC:
http://tinyurl.com/LITAPrograms2010
The form will be available at the above link, on ALA Connect (http://connect.ala.org/node/76611), on LITABlog (http://litablog.org/ala-annual-2010-program-proposals/), and anywhere else we can embed it.
Once you submit your program proposal, the Program Planning Committee will be in touch with you by the middle of August, 2009. The soft deadline for submitting proposals to LITA for a program for Annual 2010 is July 31st, 2009.
Questions
If you have questions about anything relating to programs at ALA Annual, there is a public discussion board on ALA Connect designed just for that:
http://connect.ala.org/forum/6608
You do have to have an ALA Connect login, but you do not have to be an ALA member...you can register as a non-ALA member and still ask questions of the PPC. If you are an ALA member, you can login to Connect using your ALA login information.
If you have any problems that the Connect group doesn't solve (or you have other issues), you can email me directly, Jason Griffey, at griffey@gmail.com or find me on Twitter at @griffey. But please try to use the forum first. :-)
What can you submit
I am well aware of the challenge inherent with planning technology programming a full year in advance of the conference. Feel free to be a general as you need to be in describing your program on first draft...we can always approach you and ask you for details as we move through the process. But you do not have to have every speaker booked, and every topic decided, to put forward a proposal. Have a topic area, a theme, an idea for where you think tech will be? Go with it.
Who Can Submit Proposals
There is one more difference in the process this year that everyone should be aware of. In the past, all programs were driven by Committee and Interest Group submissions, with each group effectively submitting one program. While the PPC is happy to get submissions from these groups, it is NOT NECESSARY to be backed by a group in order for LITA PPC to examine and forward your proposal for a program.
If you, as an individual member, have a great idea and want to be considered, please put in a proposal. If you and two friends want to throw your hats in the ring, please do. If you aren't a LITA or ALA member _at all_ and think you have the best idea for a program at ALA Annual in the history of technology, fill out the form!
Library Society of the World, Code4Lib, and other library groups: here's your chance! Please participate and share with us! Let LITA give you a stage for your ideas. If you have an idea worth putting in front of 300 people at the largest gathering of librarians in the world, we are interested in giving you that opportunity.
Bring it.
