    Call for Proposals for ALA 2017 Chicago: Film/Video and Libraries


    Proposals are due August 31, 2016.


    Thinking about attending the ALA Annual Conference, June 22-27 2017 in Chicago? Have you worked on any projects or activities involving film or video at your institution?

    The ALA Video Round Table Program Committee (VRT) welcomes program proposals for ALA Annual on just about anything related to video and libraries! The term video includes moving picture media in all of its forms - DVDs, streaming, video tapes, video art, YouTube videos, animation, iPhone shot footage, etc.

    Sample ideas (but we very much welcome others):


    Have you offered special film programming/events at your library?
    Have you made library promotional videos?
    Have you developed video tutorials or are you using film clips (or gifs) in instruction?
    Are you involved with film or video preservation?
    Have you created a filmmaking studio for your patrons?
    Are you doing anything interesting with your video collections? 
    Are you finding new ways to promote films to your community?
    Does your archive collect or create video histories?


    Proposals are due August 31, 2016.


    If you're interested in submitting a proposal, please read the guidelines and complete the online form at:http://www.ala.org/vrt/2017-annual-program-proposal-information

    The Program Committee will review all proposals and notify participants of proposal acceptance by Sept. 21, 2016.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the Program Committee co-chairs, Steven Milewski smilewsk@utk.edu or Laine Thielstrom esthiels@colby.edu

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Thank you,
    Tiffany
