Hello colleagues, Happy New Year! SEMLOL [http://www.semlol.org/] is preparing a program for the Spring meeting on “Libraries as Service” and you are invited to submit a proposal! Libraries’ focus on service as a main guiding philosophy is being re-affirmed as libraries re-envision themselves to meet the 21st century needs of their patrons. We invite you to submit proposals on topics such as innovative service models, space redesigns implemented to offer library spaces as service, technology or other planning processes that are guided by a vision of libraries as service – just to name a few. Best practices, case studies, projects, and creative ideas are all welcome. The Spring SEMLOL meeting will take place on April 10, 2015, 1:00pm - 4:00pm at the College for Creative Studies. Presentations should be 40 minutes long, including time for questions. To submit a presentation proposal, please send a title, name of speaker(s), and an abstract of no more than 250 words to semlol.board@gmail.com by February 2nd, 2015. Accepted proposals will be notified by the end of February. Regards, Julia Eisenstein Univ. of Detroit Mercy
