The Greater New York Metropolitan Area Chapter of ACRL is soliciting poster
proposals for its *December 1st 2017 Symposium*. The theme of this year’s
symposium is exploring the mission of academic and research libraries in
the 21st century information environment.
We are interested in case studies and concrete examples of ways in which
the changing information landscape has and will continue to affect the
mission of academic and research libraries.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Information literacy, students, and crises of authority in the
contemporary information world
- The academic librarian as research advisor
- Educating new librarians for the 21st century academic library mission
- Challenges related to preservation, accessibility and discoverability
of research-valuable information.
Selection will be done by a blind review; please do not include any
identifying information in your abstract. Proposals can be submitted here
<https://acrlnyforms.wufoo.com/forms/z5jimza067i5kk/>. Proposals for
posters must be received by Monday, September 4th.
The symposium will be held on Friday, December 1st at the Baruch College
Vertical Campus, 55 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10010. Successful
candidates will be notified by early October.
On the day of the Symposium, you will be expected to arrive by 8:30 am, set
up by 9:00 am and stay through the end of the day (3:45 pm). Posters will
be displayed on 5’x2’ tables and cannot be displayed on walls.
