Library Instruction West 2014: Open, Sustainable Instruction

The *Library Instruction West 2014* Program Committee invites you to *submit
a proposal
<https://docs.google.com/a/pdx.edu/forms/d/1KqK2foGNnhhDh-1XcYj1-9zYyiyhJiIn1H27Plm8ni8/viewform>
*to present at our conference to be held on the campus of Portland State
University (PSU) in Portland, Oregon from July 23-25, 2014.

The Library Instruction West 2014 theme is *Open, Sustainable Instruction*.
We are excited to highlight Portland’s reputation for green living and
PSU’s emphasis on sustainability as a core value and research focus. At the
same time, we have much to learn from each other about creating effective,
long-lasting library instruction programs that are truly sustainable. Ideas
for possible sessions include the following:

   - *Scalability*: How can a program grow when resources don’t?
   - *Lo-fi*: Sharing ideas about engaging students without fancy gadgets
   - *Care & feeding of your inner teacher*: Pedagogical approaches that
   keep us excited
   - *Collaboration*: Partnerships that grow beyond individual
   relationships and individual campuses
   - *Online presence*: Balancing potential with planning
   - *Renewable resource*: Diversity in the library ecosystem
   - *Sustaining and renewing programs* in changing academic environments

------------------------------
*Session Formats*

Our session formats are simple and, we hope, allow for creativity. There
are two options for session length, 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The 15
minute sessions will be like a longer lightning talk, with roughly 10
minutes of presenting and 5 minutes for questions. Bring your energy! The
format is flexible for the 45 minute sessions, and you are welcome to
experiment or go with something more traditional like a panel, workshop, or
presentation. All proposals will be blind reviewed.
------------------------------
*Proposal Submissions*

The deadline for submitting your session proposal is *5:00 pm PST, Friday,
November 15, 2013.*

For your proposal, please submit two session descriptions:

   1. A short abstract of 150 words or less. If your proposal is accepted,
   we will use this abstract for the conference program. The review committee
   will not see these abstracts, so they can include identifying information.
   2. A longer session description of 500 words or less. The Program
   Committee will review this description for selection purposes. This
   description must not include any identifying information about the
   institution or presenters to ensure a blind review.

*Please submit your proposal using our proposal submission form
<https://docs.google.com/a/pdx.edu/forms/d/1KqK2foGNnhhDh-1XcYj1-9zYyiyhJiIn1H27Plm8ni8/viewform>.*

*Session proposals will be scored on these criteria:*

   - Clarity of goals or objectives for session
   - Originality, creativity, or innovation in content and/or presentation
   - Timeliness/relevance of content
   - Connection to conference theme, “Open, Sustainable Instruction”
