Call
for Proposals
Learner-Centered Librarianship
The Florida Chapter of ACRL (FACRL) is seeking proposals for presentations and poster sessions for the 2018
FACRL Annual Conference exploring
“Learner-Centered Librarianship”
in academic libraries through and beyond instruction programs. Learning involves both content and resources, as well as information processes such as information seeking with connection to all aspects of library work and service models. As academic libraries
increasingly shift focus to learner-centered programming, collections, pedagogy and practices, an opportunity has arisen to rethink our roles in relation to the learning experience. The 2018 FACRL conference will allow for reflection, planning, and development
in this growing area. The
annual conference will be held on Friday, October 19, at the Florida
Gulf Coast University Cohen Center Ballroom
in Fort Myers, FL.
Proposals
are due by June 30, 2018.
Follow
this link to the submission form.
Presentations should be 45 minutes in length with additional time provided for questions. Follow this
link
to the rubric that will be used to score proposals.
Acceptance emails will be sent on or before July 28, 2018.

and posters may address the following, but all proposals relevant to learner-centered librarianship will be considered:
-
Examples of
library services and resources that foster learner-centered librarianship -
Initiatives
involving broader campus communities to inform and inspire principles of learner-centered practices and/or the application of the ACRL Framework -
