Dear Colleagues,
We are four weeks away from the deadline for Proposals for Papers, Sessions, and Workshops for the ARLIS/NA 2013 Annual Conference Crafting Our Future in Pasadena. The deadline is Friday June 22. Links to the online proposal forms are on the Conference website http://www.arlisna.org/pasadena2013/.
Are you mulling over your Conference proposal ideas? As you "craft" your proposals, please keep in mind that the Program Committee is open to all ideas as we aim to create a well-balanced program. However, it might help to know the topics your colleagues expressed interest in when they completed the Toronto Conference Evaluation Survey.
The 193 survey respondents indicated they are interested in the following areas:
68.9% Collections Development & Management (visual resources, archives, special collections, ebooks, licensing, etc.)
56% Library Outreach (communication/marketing, curating/programming, collaboration, partnerships, fund-raising, capital campaigns, community-building, etc.)
53.9% Learning in the Library (information literacy, learning environments, learning styles, searching and browsing behaviors, etc.)

44% Library Planning (strategic thinking/visioning, project management, needs assessment, surveys, space programs, sustainability, etc.)
40.4% Career Planning (alternative careers, education of librarians, future of art librarianship, new voices in the profession, succession planning, mentoring, etc.)
39.4% Accessibility (Universal Inclusive Design, Rights Management: Open Content, Copyright, Creative Commons Principles, Ethics/Social Responsibility, Reformatting/Close-captioning etc.)
38.9% Library Management (budgeting/administration, policy development, time management, delegation etc.)
37.8% Cataloguing & Preservation (cataloguing/metadata, records management, conservation, restoration, digital preservation, reformatting, etc.)
