MLA Annual Conference Lightning Talk Deadline
by Amber Sheerin 30 Jul '21

30 Jul '21

The deadline to submit a Lightning Talk proposal to the MLA Annual Conference is next Friday, August 6th! Lightning Talks are 5-minute video shorts that will be available for viewing throughout the MLA Annual Conference. Are you working on a new project, but don’t have results ready to present a formal program? Experience a big FAIL you want to warn others against? Have fun library stories to tell? Want to be creative in how you deliver an idea to peers? Consider creating a Lightning Talk, where you can present important topics with peers in an informal setting. A good Lightning Talk focuses on one main theme, presents useful information, stimulates discussion, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, so have fun. It’s a great way to jump into presenting without building a full-blown program.

By Gregory Gilpin, et al. Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Apr. 2021 (rev. July 2021). 59 p.<http://catalog.lib.msu.edu/record=b14362261~S37a> In this paper, the authors analyze the causal effects of library capital spending on the resources and usage of U.S. public libraries. "We find that capital investment sharply increases library visits (by 21%), children's checkouts of items (by 21%), and children's attendance at library events (by 18%). These increases in usage persist for at least 10 years after capital investment. Capital investment also increases library book holdings, employees, spending on salaries, and operating expenditures.... We find that library capital spending increases children's reading test scores by 0.02 standard deviations on average in the seven years following the library investment shock."
