CFP: NASIG Autumn (Virtual Conference - October 16th-18th, 2023)

We are pleased to announce that the NASIG Autumn virtual conference is scheduled to take place online October 16-18, 2023, and the call for proposals is now open.  

We are accepting proposals for the following session types:

  • Short (7 minutes): ideal for concise overviews or burgeoning ideas
  • Medium (15 minutes): perfect for case studies
  • Long (30 minutes): great for more detailed presentations

Please submit your proposals here: https://forms.gle/farNPnLtU9rXmnpa8 by Monday, September 11, 2023.

Whether you are new to libraries, working towards your MLIS, or have many years of experience, we are interested in learning more about your work with:

  • New or evolving tools, such as AI
  • Open Source library systems
  • Collection development and assessment
  • Licensing trends and workflows
  • Cataloging practices
  • And more! 

Sessions may present a report of a research study, an analysis of a practical problem-solving effort, new findings related to a previously shared NASIG webinar or conference presentation,or a description of an innovative program that may be of interest to the NASIG community. This is not an opportunity to promote or denigrate a specific vendor, product, or service.

NASIG Autumn is an entirely virtual event, open to speakers and attendees globally. Speakers will receive free registration. We intend to make NASIG Autumn content more widely available after the conference. Additional details will be included in the Speaker MOU.

Again, the deadline for submission is Monday, September 11, 2023, after which our planning committee will convene and review all submissions. If you need an extension, or any assistance with your submission, please do not hesitate to contact us at nasig-autumn@nasig.org.
