The 2016 NCNMLG & MLGSCA Joint Chapter Meeting Planning Committee is soliciting submissions for contributed papers, lightening talks, and posters for the upcoming meeting “In Tune with the Future through Vision, Visibility and Partnership" at Stanford University, January 20 – 23, 2016.

We want to hear from you!

How are you keeping in tune with the future? Are you working smarter --or harder-- trying to keep up with the ever-changing technology? What new partnerships and collaborations are you creating in expanding library services and responsibilities? What innovations, new services, programs and technologies are you using and/or promoting in your library?

Papers, lightening talks, and posters may describe any research or practice of interest to the medical library community.

Presenters should be prepared to speak between 12-15 minutes. Lightening talks are limited to five minutes, and serve as a way to participate in the conference in a less formal manner than a contributed paper.
Note: contributed papers are oral presentations; a complete text of the paper is not required.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  November 15, 2015

For POSTERS:
Submit a copy of an abstract (approximately 250-300 words) describing the poster.
Please list all presenters and institutional affiliations.
Please let us know if you need a table or electricity.

Please place "POSTER PROPOSAL" in the subject line of your message and email to Hella Bluhm-Stieber, Poster Session Chair, and to Carmen Huddelston:
