The Program Committee invites submission of proposals for presentations at
the 27th Annual ASDAL Conference at Loma Linda University. The theme of this
year's conference is purposely broad, Libraries 360°:
The Whole Picture, to reflect the fact that libraries increasingly serve
a global and virtual community.
Proposals for participation may explore current and future aspects of the
global and virtual library. To further stimulate the imagination, a selection of
general topics for development is listed below.
- Assessment: How do you Measure Up?
- Electronic Resources Management
- Fundraising
- Global Distance Education
- Leadership/Management
- Marketing Your Library
- Library 2.0
- Recruitment & Retention
- Research on Libraries & Librarianship
Presentations can take the following forms:
Papers — Research or position papers that stimulate
creative thinking and challenge conventional assumptions.
Poster Sessions — Informal, visual presentations that
highlight effective solutions to concerns faced by library.
Panels — Two or more presenters provide unique
perspectives on an issue and invite audience participation.
Round-table discussions — Share ideas and help to solve
problems in small, informal group discussions.
Proposals need to include the following items
- Presentation title
- Presentation format (see list above)
- One-paragraph abstract
- Presenter's name and institution affiliation
- Email address
