We are especially interested in breakout sessions and panels which explore the evolving nature of information literacy and are related to this year’s theme, “Expanding the Conversation: Digital, Media, and Civic Literacies In and Out of the Library”.\u00a0We hope to foster conversations across all types of libraries, schools and other organizations and encourage a diversity of perspectives in this proposal call.<\/p>\n In line with this year’s summit theme, we’re especially interested in proposals that speak to the following issues and questions.<\/p>\n The Summit is a regional conference which will be held virtually. Breakout sessions and panels will be 45 minutes long and should include audience interaction or discussion. Panel discussions should have a three person maximum. Hands-on lessons and demonstrations (and\/or practical takeaways) are encouraged.
