<http://bit.ly/2014forum>The 2014 LITA National Forum Committee seeks
proposals for excellent pre-conferences, concurrent sessions, and poster
sessions for the 17th annual LITA National Forum to be held in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, November 5-8, 2014.The 2014 theme, Transformation: From Node to
Network, reflects the ongoing evolution of libraries from being seen as
largely standalone institutions focused on their own locale to being
integrated into and within their communities -- whether on a local,
regional, national, or global level, or on all four.The Forum Committee
welcomes pre-conferences, presentations, and interactive programs related
to all types of libraries: public, school, academic, government, special,
and corporate. Proposals could relate to any of the following themes: -
Cooperation & collaboration- Scalability of library services and tools-
Researcher information networks- Practical applications of linked data
sets- Large- and small-scale resource sharing- User experience & users-
Information commons- "Big Data" -- work in discovery, preservation, or
documentation- Anything else that relates to the conference themeProposals
may cover projects, plans, ideas, or recent discoveries. We accept
proposals on any aspect of library and information technology, even if not
narrowly covered by the above list. The committee particularly invites
submissions from first time presenters, library school students, and
individuals from diverse backgrounds.Presentations must have a
technological focus and pertain to libraries. Presentations that
incorporate audience participation are encouraged. Sessions can be full-day
pre-conferences, concurrent sessions (50 minutes), or poster sessions. The
format of the presentations may include single- or multi-speaker formats,
panel discussions, moderated discussions, case studies and/or
demonstrations of projects.Vendors wishing to submit a proposal should
partner with a library representative who is testing/using the
product.Presenters will submit draft presentation slides and/or handouts on
ALA Connect in advance of the Forum and will submit final presentation
slides or electronic content (video, audio, etc.) to be made available on
the web site following the event. Presenters are expected to register and
participate in the Forum as attendees; discounted registration will be
offered.  --Ken Varnum | Web Systems Manager | MLibrary - University of
