Registration Now Open for the Midwest Business Librarian Summit (MBLS)

  • 1.  Registration Now Open for the Midwest Business Librarian Summit (MBLS)

    Posted 10 days ago

    Hi all, 

    While this is more business-focused, I wanted to cross-promote the Midwest Business Librarians Summit, a free event that will be taking place this summer. This event will include lightning talks, and our keynote speaker is Marilyn C. Nash, Regional Outreach Officer, United States Patent and Trademark Office. 

    Please see additional information below, and let me know if you have any questions!

    ____________

    The 2024 Midwest Business Librarian Summit is scheduled to occur in person on Wed, July 10th, at Purdue University! This is an IN-PERSON event held at the Purdue University West Lafayette, IN, campus.

    Are you a business librarian or liaison, or someone who wants to know more about business librarianship? Join us for a day-long summit to discuss what we are all working on, what resources we love, teaching strategies, and more! MBLS is structured but informal, with ample time to get to know one another. The summit is FREE and will include on-campus parking at Purdue. This event is open to anyone with an interest in business librarianship, not just those located here in the Midwest. This year, we are excited to welcome Marilyn C. Nash, Regional Outreach Officer, United States Patent and Trademark Office, as our keynote speaker!

    Visit https://guides.lib.purdue.edu/MBLS for details.

    REGISTRATION:

    Registration is now open! The event is capped at 75 participants, and registration will be open until June 25th. We hope to see you in July! Please register for MBLS here: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1EQ2jAHSCzKGGt8

    CALL FOR LIGHTNING TALKS

    Can you talk for just 5 minutes about what you've been doing as a business librarian? We're asking those registered for MBLS to apply to present a lightning talk! It could be an interesting project, a workflow improvement, a negotiation strategy, a resource discovery, an innovative approach to your job, or something completely different. As long as it relates to business librarianship, we at MBLS want to hear about it. You only need your title and abstract at this point in the process.

    Lightning Presentation Call-Out Schedule:

    •            June 14 – Abstract Submission Deadline

    •            June 21- Acceptance Announcement

    •            June 28 - Slides Due

    •            July 10 – MBLS Presentations (in person)
