Call for Speaker Proposals 2017

Join us for this year’s California Conference on Library Instruction which will be held at the University of San Francisco on Friday, May 5, 2017. The conference theme is “New Directions in Library Instruction and Scholarly Communications.”

EXTENDED Proposal Deadline: October 14 24, 2016
Conference Date: May 5, 2017

The California Conference on Library Instruction (CCLI) invites you to share proposals for presentations, workshops, and lightning talks about the intersection of information literacy instruction and scholarly communications.

College and university libraries are taking an increasing role in guiding scholarly communications activities on their campuses. As scholarly communications have evolved in the direction of open access and sharing of data, information literacy instruction continues to evolve in order to adapt to a rapidly changing research environment. These major shifts offer ripe territory for collaborative innovation at the crossroads.

We are interested in presentations from librarians and other faculty with a focus on 2-year / community colleges and 4-year colleges and universities (first-year experience, upper-division instruction, and graduate instruction).

Potential topics to explore include curriculum design, assessment, or instructional design practice as they relate to digital humanities, data visualization, data management, open access scholarship, or open educational resources.

We recommend that prospective presenters refer to our evaluation rubric: http://www.cclibinstruction.org/ccli-rubric-2017/

Proposals can be submitted as presentations / workshops and lightning talks.

Presentation / workshop proposals should:

  • Relate to the “New Directions in Library Instruction and Scholarly Communications” theme
  • Clearly outline the session
  • Be timely and applicable to academic librarians
  • Include 2 – 3 learning outcomes as well as how you plan to incorporate active learning (hands-on activities, discussion, etc.) into your session.

Interested in presenting? Please use our submission form at https://goo.gl/bIR8ih. The deadline for submissions is 10/24/2016.

We appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you!
