Call for Poster Sessions
The Greater New York Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries
The 2009 ACRL/NY Annual Symposium, "Emerging Leadership in Libraries" focuses on the importance of leadership in academic libraries today and the paths to achieving and sustaining it. This Symposium will address myriad questions of leadership: What does it take to be a leader? How do we mentor leaders within our institutions? How do we take charge of our own career paths? How do we move into leadership roles? We will open up discussions of leadership across the different stages of librarianship.
ACRL/NY invites you to submit a poster session proposal for the Symposium. It can address any issue related to this theme. Examples follow:
Professional collaboration
Management styles in libraries
Motivating/inspiring librarians
Getting yourself published
Experience in leadership development
Mentoring/mentoring programs
Creating new roles
Moving into leadership roles
Promoting yourself
Please email a 100-200 word description of your poster session proposal to Symposium Planning Committee member Gloria Meisel at gloria.meisel at sunywcc.edu<mailto:gloria.meisel at sunywcc.edu> by October 20, 2009. Include author name(s), email and telephone contact numbers, and the title of the poster session. Presenters will receive a reduced Symposium registration rate.

There is no wireless capability and no availability for electronic sessions. Posters cannot be displayed on walls or big boards. The size of the tables will be posted shortly.
