The Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) conference planning committee invites you to submit proposals for the 47th Annual Conference, Building Bridges: Dialogue, Deliberation, and Connection in Academic Libraries, which encourages us to consider helping our users connect and communicate in a divided world during historic times. The conference/committee encourages all members of the library community to submit a proposal. Staff, students, and librarians welcome from any division/subject area/public to technical services, special collections to systems.
We encourage thoughtful, timely proposals from all areas of library work. Adherence to the conference theme is encouraged but not required. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
All presenters are responsible for their own registration.
One proposal form will be used for all presentation types:
Presentation: (50 minute block: 20-35 minutes of pre-recorded video, plus live Q&A; alternate use of time such as panels or other formats also accepted as “presentations”)
Poster Session (image/text with up to 8 minutes of pre-recorded video, with asynchronous Q&A on the website)
Lightning Talk (live talk up to 7 minutes, with Q&A after talks. Time limits will be strictly enforced.)
All presenters are responsible for their own registration.
The conference planners seek to create a space for respectful dialogue and debate about critical issues. Upon registration, attendees will be asked to review and accept a list of community agreements. Conference planners will actively strive to create spaces in which multiple perspectives can be heard and no one voice dominates.
