    Call for Proposals : The Evolving Library through Professional Development

    Proposal Deadline: March 3, 2023
     
      *****Submit proposals https://form.jotform.com/230295494444158 *****



    Professional development is an integral component of librarianship. As a field that's always evolving and that is intertwined with technology, librarians, library workers, and information professionals across related fields and disciplines often seek professional development opportunities that contribute to their professional growth. As the needs of users change, information professionals must adapt, share knowledge, and learn new skills. Changes in the field at large can also change the landscape of information work and shift the job responsibilities of library workers. A preoccupation with change (and the future) of the field, is itself the subject of critique and discussion both in LIS literature and within professional development and institutional contexts.

     

    For LACUNY Institute 2023, we invite proposals that explore professional development and information work. We welcome case studies, theoretical explorations, panel discussions, poster presentations, and creative or imaginative proposals on topics such as but not limited to:

     

    ·       Activism/Social Justice Efforts
