The ACRL Preconference Coordinating Committee invites proposals for the ACRL 2011 National Conference

The ACRL Preconference Coordinating Committee invites proposals for the ACRL 2011 National Conference.

The deadline for proposals is May 10, 2010.

Preconferences are half-day or full-day programs that focus on a particular subject of interest to academic and research librarians. These programs should allow participants to develop a skill on a specific topic and should focus on interactive learning using a variety of presentation styles. Preconferences that offer practical tips and cutting-edge techniques, as well as programs that address one or more of the conference’s theme, are especially encouraged. Preconferences should be able to accommodate somewhere between 32-64 people.

Preconferences have separate registration fees, so please contact Margot Conahan at ACRL (312-280-2522; mconahan@ala.org) during the development of your proposal in order to develop a budget for your session.

Proposals should be submitted online through this form:

Please note that you may start and save an incomplete proposal, and edit or add additional information before the proposal deadline date.
