[Scla-list] Call For Speakers! DEADLINE April 15, 2009

[GETTYS, BEKI]

The SCLA College & University Section is seeking SC librarians to speak
at our Summer Program.

 

Other Duties as Assigned: Emerging Roles for Librarians
Date:    Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Time:    10:00a.m. - 3:00p.m; networking luncheon included
Venue:  Thomas Cooper Library, University of South Carolina, Columbia,
SC


Have the responsibilities in your once traditional job changed?  Are you
in a newly created position?  We are seeking South Carolina Librarians
to participate in a panel discussion about ways their job duties are
changing to meet users' needs and the demands of new technology. The
purpose of this SCLA program is to provide a glimpse into the future of
librarianship by examining new jobs and skills for today's librarians.
The keynote session will feature Lori Goetsch, President-Elect of ACRL
and Dean of Libraries at Kansas State University, who will discuss
emerging roles in the profession and update us on related ACRL
activities. The panel session will take place in the afternoon. 


Each panelist will be asked to speak for approximately 10 - 12 minutes
and to then participate in a 15 minute panel-audience question and
answer session.  If you are interested in participating in this panel
discussion, please email Beki Gettys, SCLA College & University Section
Chair at gettysr at mailbox.sc.edu no later than April 15, 2009 with the
following information:


1.  Please provide a brief description of your role/job duties and how
they have changed over time. Or, if you are in a newly created position,
describe your role and why it was necessary to create that position.
Please include the length of time you've been in your position, if it is
newly created and what if any skills you had to acquire.
2.  Your name, title, affiliation, and contact information.


The College & University Section officers will consider all entries and
extend invitations to three panelists by April 30, 2009.  We have
limited funds to subsidize mileage and will waive your attendance fee.
We'd love to hear about your experiences and give you the opportunity to
share them with your fellow SC Librarians!

 

Sincerely,
The College and University Section Officers:
Beki Gettys, Chair
Gerri Corson, Vice-Chair
Paul Cammarata, Secretary
Lisa Wiecki, Programs Coordinator
