USA's LOEX is holding an online-only Fall Focus conference. The conference will be held on 2-3 days, either 8-10 November 8-10 or 13-15 November (date to be finalised in September). It is "an information literacy and library instruction conference focused on: (1) Welcoming and Engaging Students New to Your Institution and (2) Building and Sustaining a Supportive Professional Community at Your Library"
"We chose these two topic areas as we believe both are relevant to where we are at now: students are entering college or transitioning to new institutions having experienced a level of disruption & transformation that exceeds anything in living memory and thus need additional assistance & revised programming to make sure their first year at their new institution are worthwhile and fruitful. But it's not just about students—everyone has been through a lot and librarians are no exception; so how are we supporting ourselves and our colleagues to make sure we are not just surviving but thriving? We invite you to submit a proposal on either of these focuses."
You can propose a 50 minute presentation or a 7 minute lightning talk. Deadline for proposals is 31 August 2023.
