Transitioning Together
NELIG Annual Program, June 3, 2016 @ Western New England University
Call for Proposals
The New England Library Instruction Group (NELIG), an interest group of
ACRL New England, requests breakout session proposals for its Annual
Program entitled "Transitioning Together" to be held at Western New
England University, in Springfield, MA, on Friday, June 3, 2016. This
year's program will explore the role of Information Literacy
Instruction in the transitions experienced by diverse user communities
on today's campuses.
What can libraries do to help our users transition to and from new
roles, experiences, programs, and more? When considering constructing
your proposal, keep in mind that transitions may include but are not
limited to: high school to community college, community college to
university, school to workforce, military to university, and
international students.
Each presenter should plan on speaking 30-35 minutes with an additional
10-15 minutes for question and discussion (45 minutes total). We are
looking for individual, group, or panel presentations by librarians
and/or their collaborative colleagues. Interactive workshops involving
computers and hands-on activities will also be considered. NELIG
encourages librarians with any amount of experience to submit a
proposal, and we are dedicated to providing opportunities for
librarians to learn practical ideas from one another. Please feel free
to email us if you have any questions about presenting.

Proposal topics may include but are not limited to the following:
* Instruction that impacts recruitment, student success, persistence,
retention and graduation rates
* Curriculums that help diverse and underserved or neglected
populations transform nascent information literacy skills into
viable 21st Century assets
* Information literacy as it promotes self-efficacy & lifelong learning
* Demonstrations of information literacy skills as they serve equitable
access to information and research justice
* Collaborating with campus-wide efforts to support transitions
Proposals are due February 29, 2016 and may be submitted below.
Questions should be directed to: acrlnelig at gmail.com.
Thank you!
