CFP: “Innovation and Risk Taking in Business Academic Librarianship: Online Lightning Talks.” (ALA RUSA BRASS)

Call for Proposals: “Innovation and Risk Taking in Business Academic Librarianship: Online Lightning Talks.”

Do you have an innovative idea or project that you’re dying to share with others interested in academic librarianship, instruction, or business reference?  Did you take a risk that didn’t go how you planned, failed, and learned from the failure? Business Reference in Academic Libraries is hosting a set of online lightning talks tentatively scheduled for September-November. The lightning talks will be 20-25 minute presentations and can cover a variety of topics, including successes or failures, innovative products implemented, new tools for reference, or risky new services.

You can submit your proposal here: https://goo.gl/forms/63h6xtw1yEac8DPe2

Proposals are due by June 1, and the presenters will be notified by July 15

Please note that preference will be given to presentations by BRASS members. Here’s a link to join: http://www.ala.org/membership/

Presentations will take place on the Zoom platform. After acceptance, presenters will work with ALA RUSA BRASS Business Reference in Academic Libraries to schedule a time to present.
