The nolaILC (New Orleans Information Literacy Collective) is seeking proposals for its annual conference, the New Orleans Information Literacy Forum. This year the Forum will be held LIVE virtually during the day from Monday, July 31 – Thursday, August 3, 2023. (Sessions will also be recorded and subsequently made available to registered attendees.)
We’re seeking proposals from information literacy professionals and students working at public, school, academic, and special libraries to foster dialogue throughout the profession. Proposals may address any topic relevant to information literacy in a variety of institutional contexts.
Topics may address or focus on adaptability, but they do not have to. Other topics can include (but are by no means limited to):
Instruction/instructional design
News literacy/disinformation
Information literacy and social justice
Inclusivity (including accessibility)
Technology and tools
Curriculum planning
Using primary sources
Open educational resources
The Framework/AASL Standards/other IL benchmarks
Other literacies (financial, visual, technological, etc.)
Online instruction
Collaboration with other units/organizations
Proposals should be 200-300 words long and should specify a particular format for the session (e.g., workshop with tangible takeaway, round table, lightning talk, 30-minute presentation, etc.).
To apply, please fill out and submit the proposal form for the conference. Those selected to present at the Forum will be notified by the end of May.
Submissions are due by May 19, 2023 at 11:59 pm CST.
