    About This Event

    ACRL DVC is seeking dynamic and thoughtful panelists to join us for an in-depth conversation on contemporary leadership in libraries. This event brings together library professionals to explore diverse approaches to leadership and impact within academic libraries.

    Proposal Topics

    We welcome proposals addressing leadership from multiple angles, including:

    ●      Quiet leadership: building influence behind the scenes

    ●      Leading from the middle: navigating the in-between

    ●      Accidental leadership: stepping into unexpected roles

    ●      Change management in library environments

    ●      Leading without changing positions (lateral influence and peer leadership)

    We encourage proposals that reflect diverse roles and perspectives.

    What We're Looking For

    ●      Short presentations (20 min total) followed by engagement with a panel discussion

    Submission Requirements

    Submit the following by October 9, 2026

    ●      A summary of your proposed topic or angle on leadership in academic libraries (100-150 words)

    ●      Contact information (name, title, organization, phone, email)

    Send to: president@acrldvc.org
