Call for Session
Proposals
Deadline to submit proposals:
Friday, Dec. 4, 2009
We’re seeking volunteers to lead interesting and interactive discussions
relating to information literacy or library instruction. Volunteer – or
recommend someone you know – for one or more sessions at any of the
three different sites. If you know someone who would be a perfect
breakout session leader, let one of our Summit Coordinators know, and
we’ll personally invite them to submit a session proposal.
Each of the three Summit locations has its own selection of breakout
sessions. You can attend the one that best fits your location and
schedule. We encourage all types of libraries and information resources
(museums, community centers, etc.) to participate. For the Summit to be
most effective, we need many perspectives.
Session topics may focus on anything related to information seeking and
use. Special consideration will be given to topics related to this
year’s theme of “Problem Solving in our Communities: Everyday
Information Experiences.” Breakout sessions will be 50 minutes long and
should include audience interaction or discussion. Sessions typically
have 20-40 participants.
To propose a breakout session,
complete the form.
Not sure about your idea? Feel free to contact a Summit Coordinator for
inspiration or help in refining your proposal.
Some ideas to get you thinking:
-
Problem-based learning
-
Creating
needs assessments to better serve your users
-
Work
literacies, or information communication technology literacies (ICTLs)
-
Community
informatics
-
Transferring information-seeking skills as we progress in education,
careers, and everyday life
-
Taking
computer and information literacy to the community (seniors,
underserved communities, etc.)
-
Re-thinking job skills for entry-level librarians and teachers
-
Creating
libraries and information-seeking support services for special
communities
-
Specialized information literacies (e.g., scientific literacy,
financial literacy)
