The ACRL Health Sciences Interest Group is calling for online First Friday Forum presenters for spring and summer 2025. Are you knowledgeable and passionate about a subject relevant to health sciences or medical librarianship? We’d love to have you!
Available Fridays (all times 12:00-1:30 PM CDT)
- March 7
- April 11
- May 9
- June 6
- July 11
Requirements: The topic must be relevant and specific to health sciences or medical librarianship. For example, “Instruction for Undergraduate Nursing Students” or “Participating in Community Health Fairs” would be within the realm of acceptable topics; simply “Instruction for Undergraduates” or “Community Outreach” are not.
Forums are 90 minutes in length. Be prepared to present for the first hour (recorded) and host a discussion for the last thirty minutes (unrecorded). You may present alone or with co-presenters. Session formats can be a presentation with slides, a panel discussion, or lightning rounds. For lightning rounds and panel discussions, your proposal must include all presenters–we will not find or match you with other presenters. If you would like to suggest another format, please e-mail jules.bailey@fsu.edu.
Preference will be given to ACRL HSIG members. For more information on ACRL HSIG, including instructions to join, please go here.
Submit your proposal here. The deadline is Friday, January 31, at 4:00 PM CDT. We will inform you by Friday, February 7.
