The\u00a0ILA 2020 Annual Conference Program Committee<\/a>\u00a0is seeking program proposals for this year’s conference.<\/p>\n This year’s theme — Many Libraries, One State — We Are ILA — focuses on what brings us together and how we can remove barriers to collaboration.\u00a0 Therefore, we highly encourage you to widen the scope of your presentation by bringing multi-size or multi-type libraries together.<\/p>\n We are asking presenters to take a different approach to developing program proposals. Preference will be given to programs that go beyond reporting on initiatives in your library and focus on the processes of developing, implementing, and measuring success.<\/p>\n The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 16, 2020<\/b>. If you have questions about submitting a program proposal, visit the\u00a0ILA website<\/a>. New This Year – Paired Programming!<\/p>\n Want to go beyond the conceptual overview of your initiative and share more of the skills you learned? Please consider submitting paired programming. These extended programs allow you to present the topic in the first session and then follow-up with a hands-on workshop where those interested in digging deeper into the topic can gain practice with the skills themselves. Each paired program should be submitted as an individual proposal; there will be a field to identify the paired program.<\/p>\n\n
