*Call for Poster Session Proposals:*

*Social Responsibility, Democracy, Education, and Professionalism:*
*Supporting Core Values in Academic and Research Librarianship*
The Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research
Libraries 2015 Symposium
Friday, December 4, 2015

The 2015 ACRL/NY Annual Symposium will use four of ALA's Core Values of
Librarianship
<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/statementspols/corevalues> as a
framework from which to pose questions. What does "social responsibility"
mean for academic librarians? How diverse are our libraries and archives,
and how democratic do we want them to be? How does supporting lifelong
learning and information literacy differ for academic libraries of
differing sizes, populations, and missions? How can we make time to grow
professionally, given our multiple roles and budget challenges? These and
other questions will be explored by noted speakers and panelists. For
further information about the symposium, visit

ACRL/NY invites you to submit a poster session proposal for the 2015
Symposium. Poster sessions can address any of the core values: access,
confidentiality and privacy, democracy, diversity, education and lifelong
learning, intellectual freedom, the public good, preservation,
professionalism, service, and social responsibility. Examples of potential
topics include, but are not limited to:

  *   Providing access for underserved users
  *   Fostering lifelong learning in our communities
  *   Examining professionalism and changes to the profession
  *   Meeting the needs of diverse populations
  *   Resisting censorship in academic and research libraries
  *   Defining and striving towards "the public good"
