(via the Distance Library Services Conference planning committee)
The 2020 Distance Library Services Conference will take place online from Tuesday, November 3, to Wednesday, November 4. We are seeking proposals for 15 minute talks focusing on how Distance Librarianship has been impacted over the past six months, or during other times of major upheaval and crises (i.e. Hurricane Katrina in 2005, or the 2017 Charlottesville, VA demonstrations), and what innovative plans, ideas, actions have come from such scenarios. Were they successful or unsuccessful? Were the withstanding or have they evolved or faded over time?
Please submit a 150-word abstract for your topic, which should focus on one of the following conference tracks: Library Instruction and Instruction Design; Outreach, Services, and Programs; or Research Design and Planning. We will be hosting a block dedicated specifically to these talks. The deadline for submission is Monday, September 14.
For more information on the Conference, including the link for submitting a proposal (doing so requires creating an account first), please go here. The deadline to register is Friday, October 23.
