CFP: Take Risks, Embrace Change! - The Conference for Entrepreneurial Librarians (Greensboro, NC - October 17, 2014)
Call for Proposals
Building on the success of previous conferences, the fourth Conference for Entrepreneurial Librarians http://entrelib.org/ will explore how librarians exhibit entrepreneurship by taking risks and implementing change. The conference goal is twofold: to inspire entrepreneurial action among librarians and to create a community among those who do.
This year the conference is collaborating with the Journal of Library Innovation http://www.libraryinnovation.
The conference will be held at the Z. Smith Reynolds Library on the campus of Wake Forest University on October 17, 2014. It is sponsored by the libraries at Wake Forest University http://www.wfu.edu/ and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. http://www.uncg.edu/
The conference provides a mix of conference-wide sessions, contributed papers and posters. We seek presentations and posters from librarians and information professionals about projects related to the conference theme. Topics may include but are not limited to:
- Innovative approaches that incorporate entrepreneurship
- New program or solution that made a difference in your library or community
- Initiatives that created a culture of change and risk taking
- External forces that influenced the need or impetus for change
- New programs with limited or dwindling funding
- Measurement of outcomes that led to beneficial change
