Call for Papers - CLA National Conference, Edmonton 2010

The 65th Canadian Library Association National Conference and Trade Show will be held in Edmonton from Wednesday, June 2 to Saturday, June 5, 2010

CLA is pleased to invite members of the library community and other interested parties to propose program submissions for this national event.

Proposals are being solicited on any topic relevant to the Canadian library and information professional community. The conference has no set theme, and there are no defined subject streams – proposals on all topics of professional interest will be considered. The Conference Program Committee would like to encourage proposals which express innovative and creative ways for presenting information to delegates.

Sessions may be presented in any format: panels of speakers, single speakers, round-table discussions, debates, “unconference” sessions, interviews – let your imagination guide you! The only restriction is time: you may request either a 60 minute or 90 minute slot in the schedule.

Poster presentations are also being solicited. These presentations take the form of display boards, with presenters available for one-to-one discussion with delegates at a specified time. Again, any topic of broad interest to the library and information profession will be considered.

All proposals will be reviewed by the CLA Conference Program Committee. The submission deadline is September 30, 2009.

Proposals must be submitted using CLA’s online submission form. For further information or to submit a proposal, please visit: http://www.cla.ca/conference/2010/

Thank you for your interest in the 2010 CLA National Conference.
