June 8-10, 2016

Call for Proposals

Deadline for workshops and presentation proposals EXTENDED: February 12,

Libraries today are situated at a point of convergence: where traditional
and innovative ideas, formats, and practices come together. The SUNYLA 2016
annual conference will explore convergence in academic libraries, including
how we navigate the convergence of print and digital worlds; how we balance
successful methods of the past with the drive to continuously improve our
spaces and services for the future; how all the departments and people
within a library work together to achieve our goals; and how libraries grow
stronger by collaborating with each other. Please join us at Binghamton
University, State University of New York, on June 8–10, 2016, as we
ourselves converge in order to share knowledge and strengthen our libraries.

We invite all SUNY and non-SUNY librarians and staff to submit proposals
for pre-conference workshops and conference presentations in the following
tracks:


   -

   Reference and Instruction
   -

   Cataloging and Technical Services
   -

   Archives and Special Collections
   -

   Systems and Technology
   -

   Collection Development
   -

   Public Services and Interlibrary Loan
   -

   Professional Development
   -

   Management and Leadership
   -

   Open Educational Resources
   -

   Scholarly Communication

If you are not sure which track your presentation would fit into, submit
your proposal anyway and we will determine which track would best suit your
idea.
