Online Northwest

Online Northwest is a one-day conference focusing on topics that intersect libraries, technology and culture.  The 2017 conference will be held at Portland State University on Friday, March 31, 2017.

 

The conference explores how technology is applied within library settings and its impact on access and services for patrons. Academic, public, school, and special librarians are strongly encouraged to submit proposals.

 

Our keynote speaker will be Professor Safiya Umoja Noble.  Dr. Noble is an assistant professor in the Department of Information Studies in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at UCLA. Her research on the design and use of applications on the Internet is at the intersection of race, gender, culture, and technology.

 

Submit your proposals for 45-minute panels, workshops, and presentations, or 5-minute lightning talks, on all topics relating to technology and libraries.  The program committee is particularly interested in proposals that address the following themes in relation to technology and libraries:

 

  • User Experience/Understanding Users
  • Design
  • Engagement/Impact

 

Other topics related to technology in libraries are welcome!

 

Proposals will be accepted until November 11, 2016:  http://onlinenorthwest.org/submit-a-proposal/
