Call for Proposals
What: University Libraries Diversity Research and Programming Colloquium, Wednesday, April 22, 2009, 10-11:30 am
Who: All members of the Penn State Libraries community: librarians, staff, part-time employees, interns, and volunteers in all Libraries departments and locations, and colleagues in Digital Library Technologies. We encourage submissions from our friends and colleagues at Dickenson, Hershey, and the Penn State Press.
Where: Foster Auditorium and broadcast via MediaSite Live.
When: Deadline for submission: Friday, February 27, 2009; notification of acceptance: Friday, March 13, 2008; program: Wednesday, April 22, 2009, 10-11:30 am
Have you been working on a topic that relates to diversity? Have you presented a paper at a conference? Written for a journal? Been involved with a project? Designed an exhibit? Planned a program? Or conducted some research? Please consider sharing this important work with your colleagues here at Penn State.
The Diversity Committee is sponsoring a Research and Programming Colloquium on Diversity. The Colloquium will be held in the Foster Auditorium and will be available to all locations through MediaSite Live.
The format of the program will include several short presentations (approximately 15 minutes each), and an electronic poster session (three to five Power Point slides). It’s up to you: do you want to speak for 15 minutes, or just three or four minutes?
All Libraries’ faculty and staff from all locations are encouraged to submit proposals and to attend the colloquium. Colleagues from any location may attend in person, or present from their own location via Skype (don’t worry about the details; we’ll handle the technology).
Submission is easy! No need to send a detailed proposal; just a couple of lines about your program, paper, or other project. Deadline for submissions is Friday, February 27, 2009.
Send your proposals to Daniel Mack at dmack@psu.edu. Please put “DIVERSITY COLLOQUIUM” in the header.
Sincerely,
Dan and Lana, for the Diversity Committee
