A message to all members of Library 2.0
(With sincere apologies for an additional email. The previous email picked up the sentence periods in the hyperlinks, and so clicking on them gives an error message.)
This is our official call for presentations for the Library 2.011 conference, November 2 – 3, 2011. The conference will be held online, in multiple time zones over the course of two days, and will be free to attend. We encourage all to participate, and ask that you share this information where appropriate. Presentation submission instructions are at http://www.library20.com/pages/call-for-proposals.
The Library 2.011 conference will be a unique chance to participate in a global conversation on the current and future state of libraries. The conference strands are at the bottom of this email. Session proposals will be posted on the conference website, and we encourage making comments to and connecting with others based on their session proposals, as well as “voting” for session using the “like” button on the submissions. Session proposals are due September 15, and session acceptances will be communicated by September 30.
You may submit more than one session, but priority will be given to providing as many presenters as possible the chance to present before accepting additional sessions from a particular presenter. Sessions should be planned to be at least 20 minutes or more in length, and all sessions must be completed (including Q&A) within one hour. All sessions will be held in Blackboard Collaborate (previously Elluminate/Wimba). Presenters will be responsible for being familiar enough with the program to present. There is very good recorded training we will send you, as well as providing a number of live training sessions where you can ask questions. To practice you can also sign up for the free 3-person Collaborate room at http://www.LearnCentral.org. Please note that all sessions will be recorded and quickly made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (for more information, see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). By submitting to present you are agreeing to these terms.
Session proposals are to be non-commercial. Interest in commercial sponsorship or presentations should be directed to Steve Hargadon at steve@hargadon.com.
Additionally, there are other ways to also participate in the conference!
We are very excited about this conference, and look forward to your participation!
Thank you,
Dr. Sandra Hirsh, Professor and Director
School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at San Jos� State University
