Session Formats

 

The Program Committee invites proposals in the following formats:

 

1. Workshop.  In-depth session with experts as speakers.  Registration fee may be necessary to offset costs for external speakers.  Proposals for two hour, four hour and eight hour workshops in which a particular subject is explored in depth are sought.  Organizers should include interactive features and workshop handouts.  Some proposals should be appropriate for beginners while others should address the concerns of more advanced learners.  We are hoping to provide more workshops in Banff than in previous conferences – possibly mini-workshops in the core of the conference program with no fee or a nominal registration fee to offset costs. 

 

2.  Paper.  Open Session; 120 minutes: 3-4 presentations with a moderated comment and discussion period.  Can describe completed research or work-in-progress.

 

3.  Plenary.  Open Session; 120 minutes: presentations with a comment and discussion period on a topic of interest to the entire ARLIS/NA membership.

 

4.  Panel Discussion.  Open Session; 90 minutes; a panel of 3-4 individuals and 1 moderator.  Panelists will discuss a variety of ideas, perspectives, or approaches about the given topic.  A moderated comment and discussion period will follow the discussion.

 

5.  Opposing Viewpoints.  Open Session; 90 minutes; two presenters on opposing sides of an issue (for example, subject cataloguing specialists vs. generalist; accreditation pro and con, etc.).  A moderated comment and discussion period will follow the presentations.

 

6.  Poster Session.  Open Session; 30 minutes: one or two presenters who explain a project, service, or library practice (for example, successful ARLIS chapter meetings, bibliographic instruction, or collaborative projects).

 

7.  AskARLIS Discussion Session.  With required registration.  True discussion sessions – not lesser versions of panel sessions.  Participation encouraged by advance sign-up with each participant asked to provide content.

 

Speakers

It is not necessary to have identified your speakers to submit a session proposal.  If needed, a call for papers with information about approved session proposals that lack confirmed speakers will be posted on ARLIS-L.
