CALL FOR JURIED PROPOSALS: Library Research Seminar VI: "The Engaged Librarian: Libraries Partnering with Campus and Community"
WHEN: October 7-9, 2014
WHERE: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign iHotel and Conference Center.
WHO: Hosted jointly by the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the University Library, and the Library Research Roundtable of the American Library Association.
WHY: 21st century librarianship has witnessed new forms of cooperation between librarians and the communities they serve. Academic libraries have adopted new roles that span the scholarly communication lifecycle and advance digital humanities, data stewardship, and eScience initiatives. Public libraries have become community focal points for programming that meets the learning needs of children and their families, encourages the creative use of new technologies, and reaches out to include new and diverse communities. Creative school librarians
also work with others to examine issues related to the common core standards, the development of programs that promote and complement curricula, and the exploration of new learning and teaching models.
WHAT: This conference will bring together academics and practitioners, including faculty and graduate students from library schools and iSchools, and academic, public and school librarians. The conference will focus on how collaboration and cross-disciplinary research can create new knowledge and chart a course for partnerships with deep and lasting impact. The LRS VI Program Planning Committee invites proposals for papers, panels, posters and workshops. We welcome creative contributions from individuals and groups in the following theme areas.
HOW: A lively discussion of paper, panel, poster, and workshop presentations and activities.

*Cutting-edge research that crosses boundaries within and beyond the field of library and information science
*The process and products of collaboration: lessons learned and best practices that establish librarians as full research, teaching, and learning partners in academic or community settings
*Librarian-faculty partnerships, their impact on research, and the influence of their findings on the collaborative approach
*Identification of knowledge gaps and research agendas
*Intra-institutional, inter-institutional and trans-national collaborations
*Community engagement and community informatics projects--stories of success and possible scenarios for the future
*Examples of recruiting, training, and mentoring the next generation of librarians to be research, teaching, and learning partners in their campus and communities
