Academic Libraries 2017 Call For Digital Posters Due: Friday, December 2, 2016 Michigan Library Association invites you to participate in a unique presentation opportunity at the 2017 Academic Library Conference, Thursday, March 9, 2017, at Mott Community College in Flint. The Academic Libraries Workgroup is seeking poster proposals for a DIGITAL poster session and a pre-recorded webinar series that will be available to attendees as an extended research and learning opportunity. Please note that your attendance is not required with this presentation format; this is an excellent opportunity for those that are typically constrained by location or associated fees! You do not have to be a member of the Michigan Library Association for consideration. What is expected of you if your topic is chosen for presentation: * Submit one PowerPoint presentation that will be streamed along with other virtual posters on a monitor during the conference. * Record a webinar prior to the conference date. (This can be done remotely and should be similar to a 10-15 minute informative speech about your research. The total time commitment for the recording, including a practice run, will be around 30 minutes. MLA staff will coordinate this process with you.) * Provide contact information for inclusion in a pamphlet that will be distributed to attendees at the conference. The conference theme is focused on social justice in academic libraries; related research is welcomed!
