The Health Science Librarians of Illinois annual conference will be both in-person and virtual in 2025. The conference will be held virtually on November 11-13, 2025 and in-person on November 14, 2025 in Champaign, IL. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cNavigating the Future Now.\u201d HSLI is seeking proposals for both Lightning Talks and Poster Presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have presented, or plan to present, a poster or lightning talk at another meeting this year (such as MLA or Midwest Chapter\/MLA), recycling content at HSLI is totally okay! Posters will be in electronic format only. If you\u2019d prefer a lightning talk, you can submit a small set of slides (5 or less). Each presenter will have 5-10 minutes to discuss their poster or lightning talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideas can include, but are not limited to, any area of librarianship such as instruction, leadership, DEI initiatives, program development, communication, collections and collection management, outreach, and evaluation. Incorporating this year\u2019s conference theme is appreciated but not required. Student submissions are encouraged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For either submission type, presenting author(s) must register for the conference and be available virtually<\/strong> to present (exact time TBD). There may also be an opportunity to present in person. More information about the conference can be found at the HSLI website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract Submission Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
