Call for Proposals

Where do we go from here? Best Practices & Trends in Academic Libraries

The Florida Chapter of ACRL (FACRL<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://facrl.org/__;!!PhOWcWs!2lC4B4AW6RHKKM5iruMxBp2z4O0qjh0TD-wRzPflREmGrSQqlWWSly_pi388DeMAUMu73uyTafxlbLoebMnj7rf4$ >) is currently seeking proposals for presentations and poster sessions for the 2023 FACRL Virtual Annual Conference, held online on Friday, October 20, 2023. This year's call for proposals encourages librarians and staff to share projects, plans, strategies, and prospects highlighting best practices and trends in academic libraries. The Center for the Future of Libraries maintains a collection<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ala.org/tools/future/trends__;!!PhOWcWs!2lC4B4AW6RHKKM5iruMxBp2z4O0qjh0TD-wRzPflREmGrSQqlWWSly_pi388DeMAUMu73uyTafxlbLoebEUJhT67$ > of 42 trends relevant to librarians and librarianship. Which trend(s) have you tackled recently, and what best practices emerged?  What best practices have you updated due to emerging technologies and their challenges or how we gather and communicate? How have we changed regarding collections, services, spaces, and operations? Book bans? Attacks on academic freedom while maintaining academic integrity? What evaluative tools and subsequent data have we used to make informed decisions and implement new or revisit current policies? Multiple trends can comprise a topic. For example, advocacy and activism trends could influence a campaign for pay equity in your library or campuswide. Investigations into AI could provide new strategies for addressing information literacy instruction and reference across campus.

Have an idea for a timely topic outside of this year's theme? Please feel free to submit it for consideration! Don't see a trend of interest but have best practices to share? No problem. Submit your proposal anyway.
