[Metadatalibrarians] Code4Lib 2019 Pre-Conference - Call For Proposals

[Haley, Kathleen]

We are now accepting pre-conference proposals for the 2019 Code4Lib conference in San José, California. These pre-conferences can either be a 1-day (six hour) or a 1/2-day session (three hour) and will occur on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.

Code4Lib 2019 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural heritage and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib community, please visit https://code4lib.org/about/.

The pre-conference sessions give folks a space to share and build knowledge, as well as to teach attendees new skills relevant to library technology. Pre-conference sessions can range from workshops to working sessions. We welcome a variety of ideas and encourage submissions from first-time presenters and members of groups not well-represented within the Code4Lib community, including but not limited to: women, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBT+.

To propose a session, please go to https://goo.gl/forms/DXyX8OGKBtHKkXzv1 . If you're looking for inspiration, there are many great examples of pre-conferences from last year. To view these, visit http://2018.code4lib.org/workshops/

We are taking proposals until October 11, 2018, 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST. After a period of public voting on workshops, we hope to confirm sessions with the facilitators shortly after.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at KHaley at mwa.org.

Best,

Kathleen Haley on behalf of the
Code4Lib 2019 Pre-conference Committee
