    Save the Date/Call for Proposals

    'AIM Higher: The Evolving Technology of AI in Academic Libraries'

    We are excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals for the 14th Annual

    Connecticut Academic Library Conference, formerly titled the Connecticut Information

    Literacy Conference, which will be held virtually on Friday, June 14, 2024. We have expanded our scope to include all under the academic library umbrella. The conference will be free for presenters to attend and $10 for attendees.

    We invite you and your colleagues to submit proposals for breakout workshops (45 - 50 minutes long with a 10 - 15 minute Q&A session). Team presenters, such as faculty, students, and librarians from all types of libraries, are highly encouraged to submit a proposal. We also encourage proposals from out-of-state colleagues.

    The theme of this year's conference is: 'Evolving Technologies within Academic Libraries.' Institutions of higher education throughout the country may be considering their institutional environments, processes and practices with adapting to new technologies and tools available to users within Academic Libraries. Ideas include information surrounding Artificial Intelligence, Chat GPT, and how to utilize new and practical instruments across classrooms, campuses and institutions. How do we transform our academic library's spaces and practices to build upon our institutions' drive to keep up with ever evolving technology? This theme welcomes presentations that address new and exciting technologies in libraries such as new LIS applications, user experience design, AI and cataloging, AI content generation, etc., and utilizing these tools to best reshape your library space/information literacy sessions for the best user experience as it relates to academic libraries.

    For consideration, please submit your proposal with this form by April 15, 2024 (extended!) Accepted proposals will be notified on or about May 1, 2024. Questions regarding proposals should be directed to Susan Slaga-Metivier at slagas@ccsu.edu.
