Call for Proposals: 2015 ACRL/NEC Annual Conference
Posted December 3, 2014
The Association of College and Research Libraries, New England Chapter (ACRL/NEC – http://www.acrlnec.org/)
As the academic library evolves, it is wherever students and faculty are conducting research and learning, and within physical and virtual spaces intentionally designed to encourage scholarship, collaboration and production. Librarians and our colleagues across our campuses and beyond are actively engaged in building and assessing the most useful discovery services, the most valuable collections, the most cost-effective learning resources, the most effective collaborative spaces … for the best education and research. What does it take to expand “the library” beyond its traditional physical space? With whom are we working to expand our services?
We are seeking proposals for presentations, panel discussions, interactive sessions and posters on topics including but not limited to:
- Virtual learning environments, team-based learning and/or course instruction
- Scholarly communication, institutional repositories, data management
- Open education, open science, open access
- Maker spaces, media labs, and other collaborative spaces
- Discovery services and expanding access to information resources through library web sites, course management systems and other campus portals
- Assessment of collections, services, spaces, learning outcomes, user experience, etc.
- Campus and wider community projects, e.g. Digitizing campus archives, Wikipedia, Digital Public Library of America
