SOLINET Seeks Session Proposals for Annual Meeting
ATLANTA - (December 11, 2007) - SOLINET, Southeastern Library Network, and the
SOLINET Annual Meeting Planning Committee invite proposals for a panel or an
individual presentation for the 2008 Annual Meeting to be held May 8-9 in Atlanta,
Georgia.
The theme for the 2008 meeting is "The Transformed Library." We seek examples of
practical approaches to innovation in libraries. Have you employed a service that has
played a part in transforming your library? Do you possess insight on how the library as
place has been altered by new service offerings? What are the implications of the new
implementations? In these presentations we'd like to explore the transformed library in
regards to cataloging, archiving, mentoring, and resourcing. We welcome your
interpretation.
Accepted submissions will be offered space in one of our concurrent sessions. Each
concurrent session will run one hour and 15 minutes.
Please follow these guidelines:
1. All submissions must include a session title, short description appropriate for the
conference program, and the names, institutions, titles and email addresses of
those who will be presenting the material at the conference. Titles and
descriptions will be final upon submission.
2. Note your intended audience, both library type and position(s) within the library.
3. Include A/V requirements for your session if it is accepted for the conference.
