The ALCTS Exchange is accepting proposals for its 2017 virtual forum—submit your proposal now for first consideration! 

 

As a fully online interactive forum, the ALCTS Exchange will give participants the opportunity to share the latest research, trends, and developments in technical services and collection management in an innovative, creatively engaging, virtual environment. The ALCTS Exchange Working Group welcomes proposals for the May 2017 forum that highlight the innovation happening in the profession as well as reflect on the progress made in past decades.

 

Proposal topics should be relevant to the overarching theme, Embracing the Past, Building the Future, as well as the daily themes for each session.

 

Proposals will be evaluated on the following four points:

 

·         Relevance to the Exchange’s Themes and Audience

·         Opportunities for Learning

·         Opportunities for Audience Interaction

·         Diversity and Inclusion

 

The deadline for first consideration is December 2, and proposals submitted after December 9 will not be accepted. Proposal submitters will be notified by early February 2017.
