The Business Reference in Academic Libraries Committee wants proposals for presentations for an online symposium (via Zoom) on 14 December 14 2021, at 12noon-17.00 US Eastern Time (which is, for example, 17.00-22.00 UK time). Deadline for proposals is 2 November 2021.
"We welcome interactive proposals that discuss and address professional change and we encourage materials that attendees can take-away in such topics as: Instruction: Designing effective instruction and new teaching techniques and content; Research: Planning and/or fulfilling research projects and grants; Outreach: Building sustainable liaison relationships and collaborations; Professional development: Navigating the new terrain of connecting, networking, and engaging for learning and growing; Services: Expanding service offerings as an information professional"
Proposals should be for a 45-minute session (30 minutes for presentation with 15 minutes for facilitated discussion and/or question-and-answer) that relates to an aspect of applied academic business librarianship.
... "Suggested topics should fall under the broad heading of lessons learned from the experience of living and working during an ongoing global pandemic."
Include in your proposal:
Title (50 words or less): Interesting and descriptive
Abstract (250 words or less - a summary of your presentation);
Session outcomes (2-3 outcomes - describe what participants will learn during your session that they can apply at their library or in their role as a business librarian);
Long Description (Describe how you will engage participants in an online session and make your presentation interactive); Detail the practical components of your presentation (what will you teach attendees that will enrich their professional practice?)
Submit proposals at https://forms.gle/TfgfoC5fwGgiagd29 to submit proposals. They advise looking at the BRASS webinar best practices guide for tips: https://brass.libguides.com/webinar_best_practices
