ACRL DVC 2018 Fall Program Call for Presenters\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This program seeks to provide insight into the activism and advocacy work being done in libraries in higher education across the Delaware Valley region. In times of inequity, discrimination, and social injustice, libraries have the opportunity to be institutions of resistance, understanding, and hope. We are bringing together librarians who would like to share how they have incorporated democracy, equity, intellectual freedom, and privacy into their projects and collaborations to advocate for their communities.\u00a0 Successful proposals will demonstrate an analysis of the underlying power structures that motivate their efforts. Whether your advocacy work takes the form of outreach projects, pedagogical techniques, systems or application development, cataloging practice, or collaborative projects, we would like to give you the opportunity to share your work and its impact with colleagues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Topics should be related to library leadership in social change including:<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Services for students with marginalized identities, including documentation status<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Poverty, food insecurity, or homelessness<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Voter registration and electoral issues<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Social, mental, and health-related services<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Access and textbook-related services<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Library-related legislation<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Privacy<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Diversity, inclusion, and equity<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0 Workplace fairness and rights issues<\/p>\n The deadline to submit is\u00a0September 10<\/span>\u00a0with notification by\u00a0September 15, 2018<\/span>.<\/p>\n Proposals must include the following information:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Proposal title<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Names, affiliations, positions, and email addresses of the presenters<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Preferred presentation format<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Option A – 10-minute lightning round presentation only<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Option B – 10-minute lightning round presentation and roundtable facilitation.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A 250-word summary of the topic you wish to present including the points you intend to make and the way(s) you intend to engage the audience, if applicable<\/p>\n To propose a session please visit:\u00a0https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/ZOls6D1Xker3b1o83<\/a><\/p>\nWhen:\u00a0October 26, 2018 from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM<\/span><\/h5>\n
