Libraries: Where Ideas Take Flight

MiALA invites you and your colleagues to submit presentation proposals for the 9th annual conference to be held in-person, May 15-17, 2024 at The Fetzer Center, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI. Participation from librarians, library staff, LIS students, and administrators from all types of academic libraries is encouraged.  MiALA membership is not required to submit a proposal. We welcome proposals on topics covering any aspect of academic libraries.

We are seeking the following presentation formats:

• Presentations, panels, or moderated discussion sessions (45 min.)
• Interactive workshops (105 min.)
• Lightning Talks (10 min.)

If you have a topic you’d like to explore and are looking for collaborators, consider adding your session idea to the Breakout Session Collaboration spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is not monitored by MiALA or the Program Committee and is not part of the official submission process.

Please submit your breakout session proposal using the application form located here by January 19, 2024. The primary contact listed on each proposal will receive a message indicating receipt of the proposal when it is submitted and decisions on proposals will be communicated to the primary contact in late January or early February.
