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 welcomed. Programs usually run one hour, including time for questions, and are offered via Zoom Webinar. You do not need to be a member of ACRL or ALA to submit a proposal or attend presentations.
We are particularly interested in programs addressing the following topics in 2023-2024; however, all proposals will be considered.
-
Evolving Models for Public Services and Learning Spaces
-
Critical Librarianship, Diversity and Inclusion, and Social Justice in Academic Libraries
