[Libs-Or] Call for Proposals for the Annual ILAGO IL Spring Summit

[Tracy Scharn]

 Please forward to other interested persons.

-----------

The 9th annual ILAGO Information Literacy Summit will be held May 16, 2015
at Columbia Gorge Community College's Hood River Campus. The theme for this
year's IL Summit is Accelerated Learning, but we invite a variety of
presentations related to information literacy.

Oregon is implementing accelerated learning programs across the state,
which enable high school students to earn college credit for courses that
they take in a K-12 setting through partnerships with credit-granting
community colleges and 4-year institutions. Examples include the Eastern
Promise collaboration between colleges and school districts in rural parts
of the state; and the Challenge and Senior Inquiry programs at Portland
State University that serve the metro area.

We are particularly interested in proposals for presentations that help us
understand the implications of accelerated learning for librarians and for
students acquiring information literacy skills, such as:

   - Perspectives of school librarians serving high school students
   enrolled in college classes
   - Impact of accelerated learning on public librarians
   - Partnerships between college/university libraries and accelerated
   learning programs
   - Insight on the new landscape of high school
   - Best practices for providing equivalent library resources and services
   to K-12 students
   - Success stories of students in accelerated programs and beyond
   - Other information literacy topics are welcome as well!

The Summit typically has 60-80 attendees who come from many areas of
practice (higher ed, public, K-12) and are eager to hear new ideas and ways
to approach information literacy. We invite you to submit proposals for
panels, presentations, discussions on best practices, and other programs.

Programs should be designed to run for a total of 45 minutes including Q&A.

Program proposals will be accepted until Friday, March 13, 2015.
