The ACRL NC Chapter and the Community & Junior College Libraries Section (CJCLS) of the North Carolina Library Association (NCLA) invites you to submit a proposal for their biennial virtual conference on Thursday, May 6. Proposals should align with our conference theme, Transforming Our Future: How Our Practices Today Inform Our Futures Tomorrow. We encourage proposals from all institution types and sizes in higher education. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following.
- evolving technological advancements and needs
- impact of remote learning strategies
- changing best practices
- assisting students and faculty at the service desk
- how outreach looks in a distanced world
- onboarding challenges and opportunities
- diversity and inclusion initiatives
- information literacy strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners
Presentations will be 30-40 minutes in length followed by 10-15 minutes for questions, and will take place over Zoom. Selected presenters will have the opportunity to schedule a training session if they would like to familiarize themselves with Zoom.
Please submit your proposal here by Sunday, March 7. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by Tuesday, March 16.
Contact Dawn Behrend with any questions about the proposal process, at dawn.behrend@lr.edu. Academic and research librarians who are not North Carolina-based are welcome to submit proposals.
