    LOEX 2022: Call for Breakout Session Proposals
    We Can Do It!: Retooling Library Instruction for Today's Learning Environments

    50th Annual LOEX Conference
    May 5-7, 2022
    Ypsilanti, Michigan

    LOEX is returning in person and going back to its Michigan roots in May 2022 -- the home of Rosie the Riveter and the assembly line. Just as Rosie stepped up to the production line, we invite you to share how you're pushing the boundaries of information literacy instruction in your work. Meet with like-minded colleagues to discuss how both instructional ingenuity and tried-and-true successes can impact 21st century student learning. There may be bumps in the road or breaks in the line, but we can do it!

    This year's LOEX tracks are:
    • Pedagogy: Instructional Nuts and Bolts
    • Assessment: Building in Quality Control
    • Innovation: R&D in Information Literacy Instruction
    • Leadership: Stepping Up to the Line
    • Failures and Problem-Solving: Overhauling and Reinventing
    • Collaboration and Outreach: Assembling Diverse Production Teams
    Proposals for 50-minute long presentations and interactive workshops can be submitted only through the online submission form and must be received by Monday, November 29, 2021. The primary contact for the proposal will receive a message indicating receipt of the proposal when it is submitted and will be notified if the proposal has been accepted for presentation by Monday, January 17, 2022.
