From michelle.keba at gmail.com Fri Apr 3 08:03:40 2026 From: michelle.keba at gmail.com (Michelle Keba Knecht) Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 08:03:40 -0400 Subject: [Fla-facrl] Registration open, Empirical Librarians, May 13-14, online and in Clemson, SC Message-ID: If you support researchers or conduct research yourself, we invite you to learn more about the 9th Empirical Librarians Conference , where these two worlds come together. The conference features engaging sessions with practical takeaways on research skills for students, faculty, and librarians! See our list of session abstracts to learn more, or register to attend for $50 . EmpLibs is a small conference focused on the unique role of original research and original researchers within the broader information environment. It brings together librarians who conduct research and those who support it, creating a space to share ideas and insights about original research by both patrons and librarians. Presentations emphasize practical ?how-to? approaches. Join us to hear what works, what presenters have learned, and how you can apply their insights for your own programs, projects, and research. Attend the way that works best for you! EmpLibs 2026 will be a synchronous hybrid conference, with in-person participation in Clemson, SC, and synchronous virtual participation. All sessions will be simulcast, so attendees, whether onsite or online, will experience the same content at the same time. You may see presenting teams joining from Clemson, via Zoom, or a combination of both! Registration is $50.00 for either virtual or onsite attendees . - You can check out as a guest. You do not need to create an account when you reach checkout - If the buttons don?t work in Chrome, please try Firefox instead - See this screen-by-screen walkthrough if you have questions at any stage or want to know what to expect.

This edited volume aims to prepare educators to design and deliver meaningful experiential learning opportunities within their unique academic library contexts. Experiential learning emphasizes learning through direct experience and engaging students in hands-on, real-world activities to deepen understanding and foster critical thinking. Our goal is to provide practical, adaptable strategies that empower academic librarians to engage students in transformative learning experiences. We welcome proposals that showcase a range of approaches, including case studies highlighting successful initiatives, best practices for integrating experiential learning, pedagogical frameworks that inform teaching and learning, and innovative program models that inspire new possibilities inside and beyond the library classroom. The book is tentatively divided into the following sections: * Project-Based Learning Experiences: Capstone projects, client-based assignments, innovation projects, exhibitions, etc. * Community Service-Based Learning Experiences: Community service projects, civic engagement, volunteering, alternative spring break, living-learning communities, etc. * Student Research Experiences: Student research projects such as honors theses, independent study, research assistantships or fellowships, etc. * Professional Learning Experiences: Internships, co-ops, fieldwork, practicums, job shadowing, student-led workshops, peer coaching programs, etc. * Global Learning Experiences: Study abroad programs, virtual exchanges, international fellowships, etc. We strongly encourage chapters to incorporate Kolb?s experiential learning cycle, which includes four stages: * Experiencing: the initial experience * Reflecting: analyzing and making sense of that experience * Thinking: forming theories, planning, and connecting ideas * Acting: applying insights and testing new approaches Proposals should explore how academic librarians support students through these stages. Chapters included should also highlight culturally competent, accessible, and learner-centered instruction strategies. We encourage ideas beyond the examples listed above. To submit a proposal, please complete the proposal form by June 1, 2026, at 11:59pm ET. The form will require: * Author names, job titles, emails, and institutional affiliations * A working chapter title * An abstract up to 500 words * Link to a current CV or list of publications Timeline: * June 2026: Chapter proposals due * August 2026: Authors notified of acceptance of chapter proposals * January 2027: Chapter drafts due * April 2027: Chapter drafts returned to authors for revisions * July 2027: Final chapter drafts due Questions?

I noticed the name of Jamie Gregory. I do recall, when working as librarian / professor of library instruction & Reference & Music Appreciation at Palm Beach Community / State College (began at the community college, retired when it was State College). there was a librarian with the last name of Gregory, but not sure it was Jamie. Victoria Gregory maybe? Your message caught my eye because even though I am retired to upstate New York, I am a lifetime member of ALA and still pay dues to ACRL. Have not connected with those here in New York. But I am back in my hometown of Newark Valley, NY, in Tioga County. Don't be confused that this is a rather conservative county in the state of New York because I find it interesting to stand up for what is right! As the late Bernadette Storck always promoted with me. Bernadette was one of the outstanding supervisors with whom I worked during my entire education and library career. I answer this email because I MIGHT have something to offer. But it was so many years ago, that the names of schools and teachers are forgotten. My library director, Brian Kelley, at Palm Beach, listened to me explain how, as a high school student here in Tioga County, NY (near Cornell University), I was enrolled in a college research writing class. Our teacher, one of the finest (in my opinion), took our class to Cornell University's Olin Library to do research for our college paper. We were all students on a path to college, so going to that seven-story (?) library was astounding for all of us. It really helped me in researching and writing a paper about "The Rise of Jazz Music in America." Or some title like that. In those days, the librarians at Cornell identified their work as "bibliographic instruction." By the time I retired, we often identified it as Library,Database & Internet Research Instruction. In those days of the 1990s, we did community outreach by teaching SEFLIN Freenet to the community. I began that instruction program there. When Mr. Kelley heard about my high school experience at Cornell University, he approached some Palm Beach County private middle and high schools where there was no library or "bibliographic instruction." We often had classes in our "Internet Lab" (actual name in those days was Electronic Library Lab) in the library so as to teach them about researching in our library and on the Internet in its early years (before Google when we used FTP Archie and FTP Gopher, plus others; this was before the use of gui with hypertext protocols and Yahoo, WebCrawler, plus others). . I could write something about what we did in those days in working with middle school students, primarily. Such examples would be about "bibliographic instruction." Additionally, I eventually became certified in Bernice McCarthy's 4MAT Conceptual Learning which was used more in middle and high school than at the college, although a number of my professor colleagues wanted to use it at the college, too. Thus, related to middle school, I could write about this conceptual learning practice. I often say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. So I just lay my cards on the table with these possibilities, in reply to your solicitation for writing possibilities.
