The theme chosen for AMICAL 2017 provides a backdrop for exploring a range of questions related to librarians, faculty, technologists, and how those roles connect in meaningful ways around a common mission of student learning.
We鈥檙e seeking proposals for conference sessions that address our theme in some way, or that address one of the topical areas which form part of AMICAL鈥檚 current organizational focus. (More details are available on the website.)
You can.
The AMICAL Conference program is built almost entirely out of contributions from consortium members.
We鈥檙e counting on you to make this a great event by digging into your local experience, research and expertise, and proposing your best to share with your peers.
The AMICAL Conference has a fierce following among many librarians at members institutions. But we鈥檙e less well-known among faculty and technologists. Given this year鈥檚 theme, we鈥檇 like all of you to help us spread news of this event.
Forward this email to colleagues who may not have received it, such as faculty and technologists. Let colleagues know in person, when you meet them in the hall or over lunch.
We want this to be the most diverse AMICAL Conference ever!
We鈥檝e opened the call for proposals earlier than usual, to give you a chance to mull over ideas during the holiday season.
We hope this will also give you more time to envision more complex sessions, such as mini-workshops and panels. But we are also looking for a hearty selection of posters and tech showcases for the Community Idea Exchange, as well as lightning talks and facilitated discussions (鈥淏irds of a feather鈥�).
The deadline for submitting a proposal is 29 January 2017
