Call for Poster Sessions: Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries

The 2009 ACRL/NY Annual Symposium, “Emerging Leadership in Libraries” focuses on the importance of leadership in academic libraries today and the paths to achieving and sustaining it. This Symposium will address myriad questions of leadership: What does it take to be a leader? How do we mentor leaders within our institutions? How do we take charge of our own career paths? How do we move into leadership roles? We will open up discussions of leadership across the different stages of librarianship.

ACRL/NY invites you to submit a poster session proposal for the Symposium. It can address any issue related to this theme. Examples follow:

Professional collaboration

Management styles in libraries

Motivating/inspiring librarians

Getting yourself published

Experience in leadership development

Mentoring/mentoring programs

Creating new roles

Moving into leadership roles

Promoting yourself
