Charleston Conference - Call for Papers
From:
"Gilson, Thomas V" <GilsonT_at_cofc.edu>


Due to overwhelming demand, the Charleston Conference has decided to 
extend our Call for Papers deadline to Friday, July 13th.

The form is online at
http://www.katina.info/conference/callforpapers.php.  We are looking for 
proposals that tie into our theme for 2012, *"Accentuate the 
Positive!"*  The main conference will be held from Thursday, November 8, 
through Saturday, November 10, and we are seeking proposals for the 
following sessions:

  * *Lively Lunches*: 75 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, focused on
    audience interaction and discussion
  * *Concurrent Sessions*: 45 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, standard
    presentation with 5-10 minutes for Q&A.
  * *Innovation Sessions*: 30 minute sessions on Saturday, focused on
    new technology, innovations, etc.
  * *Poster Sessions*: 90 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, 6 ft. table
    and chairs provided. You are responsible for bringing your own
    poster and display board appropriate for table top display.
  * *Shotgun Sessions*: 6 minute, 40 second PowerPoint presentations of
    20 slides at 20 seconds each. A group of topically related Shotgun
    Sessions will be grouped together in a single concurrent session
    time slot.

Specifically, we'd like to have a series of Shotgun Sessions (short, 
Petcha Kutcha-like sessions of 6 minutes, 20 seconds each) relating to 
success stories in the library.  Our other topical threads are listed on 
the proposal form.

Please contact Leah Hinds with any questions at leah_at_katina.info 
<mailto:leah_at_katina.info>.  We look forward to seeing you in Charleston 
this November!
