ACRL ULS Prof Development Committee: Call for Proposals for Online Professional Development Presentations

  • 1.  ACRL ULS Prof Development Committee: Call for Proposals for Online Professional Development Presentations

    Posted Aug 29, 2022 03:18 PM

    The ACRL ULS Professional Development Committee (PDC) welcomes proposals for online programs that further ACRL members' professional development, knowledge, and practice. Proposals should be grounded in theory and/or practice. We encourage the use of panels and multiple presenter models to convey a variety of viewpoints. Presenters are responsible for recruiting their own co-presenters and panelists. Proposals for programs led by an individual presenter are also accepted. Programs usually run one hour, including time for questions, and are offered via Zoom Webinar.

    All proposals will be considered, however, we are particularly interested in programs addressing the following topics in 2022-2023:

    • Evolving Models for Public Services and Learning Spaces
    • Critical Librarianship, Diversity and Inclusion, and Social Justice in Academic Libraries
    • Scholarly Communications
    • Data Management and Visualization
    • Changing Roles of Liaison Librarians and Functional Experts
    • Digital Scholarship
    • Assessment and Learning Analytics
    • Identifying and Developing Future Leaders
    • Mindfulness and Work Life Balance

    Complete the following form to submit an online program proposal. To receive full consideration for the 2022-2023 programming year, submissions should be received by Friday, September 23rd, 2022. Please submit proposals here. The committee will let you know if your proposal is accepted and next steps by late October.
