*We invite proposals addressing this year’s conference theme, **Students
Are Evolving, Are Libraries Adapting?*
Today’s academic libraries face challenges to the traditional model.
Students are using technology, social media, and academic spaces in new
ways. How are librarians educating the students of today and supporting
their needs? The LACUNY Institute seeks to explore strategies and address
best practices promoting new library models.
*Topics include, but are not limited to: *
· renovation needs
· new electronic resources
· changes to the ways physical space is used
· improved marketing and/or signage
· new modes of collaboration
· alternate library partnerships
· changes in design, and/or changes in library service
platforms, among others.
*Types of proposals:*
· Panel discussion (15 minutes/presenter): Moderated panel
presentations with time for questions and discussion.
· Interactive presentation (45 minutes): Teams of two lead a
discussion on topic of their choice related to the theme, with 1 person
presenting context and the other facilitating conversation.
· Alt-sessions (15-30 minutes): An opportunity for exploring
topics through multiple ways of knowing (e.g., short documentary, spoken
word, performance art).
· Poster sessions
