2023 New Jersey Academic Libraries Conference

The Planning Committee for the 2022 New Jersey Academic Libraries Conference (formerly known as the VALE Users’/ACRL-NJ/NJLA CUS Conference) seeks proposals for Poster and Breakout Sessions to be presented virtually at the next conference, Friday, January 7, 2022 via Zoom.

This year’s theme is:
“The Importance of Now: Rethink, Refocus, Recover”

The Planning Committee welcomes poster sessions, breakout sessions, roundtables and lightning talk proposals showcasing partnerships, policies, programs, services, and other initiatives that demonstrate how your library is rethinking, refocusing, and recovering. There is no initiative that is too small to share. 

Proposal Requirements:

• For Breakout Sessions, Lightning Talks, & Roundtable proposals, please use this form.
  For questions about Breakout Session or Lightning Talk Proposals, please contact: Nicole Potdevin, Breakout Sessions Subcommittee Chair, email: potdevin@fdu.edu
• For Poster Session proposals, please use this form.

**Note: Poster Presenters will have their own “Zoom room” where attendees can interact with them and ask about their poster in real time. 

Deadline & Notification

Completed proposals are due no later than Friday, October 1, 2021. Decisions regarding the proposals will be announced by Friday, November 5, 2021.

Please feel free to forward this announcement to colleagues or post it to other appropriate email lists for academic librarians.
