CCLI 2025 - proposals due November 18

  • 1.  CCLI 2025 - proposals due November 18

    Posted Oct 17, 2024 12:53 PM

    California Conference on Library Instruction

    May 30, 2025 | Cal State Monterey Bay

    Call for Proposals for ""Making the Invisible Visible""

    In 2025 CCLI will be at Cal State Monterey Bay for the first time!

    In our highly adaptive librarian roles, we are uniquely positioned to make the invisible more visible to students, faculty, and administration. We demystify hidden curriculum for students from different information privileges and backgrounds. We unpack and deconstruct the research process and make it accessible. Together, we explore the challenges inherent in emerging technologies, such as generative AI and algorithms. With the insights we draw from these vantage points, we are able to respond to and advocate for diverse needs and address these in the teaching environments we create, be they in person, online or through learning objects.

    CCLI invites you to share your instructional philosophies, teaching interventions, and strategies that make the invisible processes or structures visible to students, faculty, and the higher education community and support their curiosity and ability to navigate the challenges they face as students, scholars, and life-long learners.

    The deadline for proposal submissions is November 18, 2024. More information on the proposal process is available on our website (https://www.cclibinstruction.org/).
