CFP: ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) 13th National Conference, 2007
CFP: ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) 13th National Conference, 2007
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) National Conference Executive Committee encourages you to submit a proposal for ACRL?s 13th National Conference to be held in Baltimore, Maryland, from March 29 to April 1, 2007.
The ACRL National Conference offers a forum for an exciting and energizing exchange of ideas on research, practices, developments, and visions in the field of academic and research librarianship. The conference theme, ?Sailing into the Future ? Charting our Destiny,? recognizes that coming together with other bright minds during the national conference gives many of us a chance to discuss, think, and dream about the future for our libraries. We believe that?as in past conferences?this forum serves as the compass and map to sail beyond our major challenges and truly chart our own destinies.
The Executive Committee invites you to investigate the issues and topics described as part of the following six tracks for the Baltimore conference and to think about both the future for our field and the practices and plans that are helping us get there:
-Attracting and Thriving
-Collaborations
-Content, Collections, and Access
-The Environment for Libraries
-Libraries and the Imagination
-Teaching and Learning
In addition to the tracks, which span a wide range of content areas, we are excited about themes and issues that academic and research librarians face daily. We encourage all programs to have goals that stimulate thought about the convergence of themes important to libraries. For example, some programs deal with challenges we face, some with our values, and some with effective practices. The following themes will be used as indicators to further distinguish programs within each track:
-Deep Waters (challenges)
-Getting your Sea Legs (early career issues)
-Hoisting the Sails (leadership)
-Lifelines (values)
-Passport to Success (effective practices)
-Rocking the Boat (innovations)
-Squalls (controversies)
Knowing that we are all engaged in the task of charting our course for the future, the mission of the conference is to help us all be thoughtful and informed, articulate about our issues, and creative in our efforts. We also want you to have fun, enjoy conversation with your colleagues, and explore Baltimore?our beautiful host city. We challenge you to think about our destinies and welcome you to join us at ACRL?s 13th National Conference.
