Charge: The Virtual Worlds Interest Group provides an opportunity for academic librarians with virtual environment interests and responsibilities to have a place in ACRL to network, share information, ask questions, and work on special projects, promote accessibility and provide programs relevant to academic libraries. The VW Interest Group also works to promote the various uses of virtual reality in all formats (desktop, mobile and headset) to potential and current academic librarians and to improve information literacy (metaliteracy) specifically in virtual spaces. The ACRL VWIG sponsors events, programs and meetings held mainly within the virtual world of Second Life and explores other developing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality platforms in the evolving metaverse.

    ⏰ Time's running out, library rockstars! Don't miss your chance to present wutchyalike!

    Got a wild, wonderful, or wonderfully weird idea? Dreamed up something outside the "library norms"? Maybe you've got a talent or passion totally unrelated to libraries that's just begging for the spotlight? This is your moment to shine.

    Our theme this year is doowutchyalike-a full-on rebellion against stuffy norms and cliques. Inspired by Digital Underground vibes, we're throwing the rules out the window and making space for the innovative, unexpected, and unapologetically YOU.

    ✨ Here's the vibe:

    • Got a library-adjacent brainstorm that'll blow minds? Let's hear it.
    • Want to teach survival hacks, salsa dancing, or the magic of mixology? Bring it on.
    • Have a revolutionary idea to fix library pain points or ignite collaboration? We need it!

    We're craving interactive, creative, and uniquely YOU sessions. No boring slideshows allowed. Let's make this year's Collective unforgettable.

    �� The Details:

    • �� Submission deadline: December 31, 2024. Don't wait-this is your moment to shine!
    • �� Join us in April 2025 at the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, TN.
    • �� Submit your proposal here: https://bit.ly/LibCol25proposals

    Got questions? Hit us up at program@thelibrarycollective.org.

    �� P.S. Seriously, don't sit on this. The deadline's creeping closer, and we're counting on YOU to bring the magic. Let's doowutchyalike and make library conference history.
