Call for Proposals: Southern Alberta Library Conference (SALC) 2021 Virtual Conference

September 2, 2020

SALC is going virtual in 2021!

The Southern Alberta Library Conference (SALC) 2021 Planning Committee is inviting proposals for virtual sessions for its first ever virtual conference March 1-5, 2021.

SALC 2021: Adapt

If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that change is inevitable.  Even the best laid plans can go right out the window when something unexpected occurs.  So how do we manage? Join us at the first ever virtual Southern Alberta Library Conference as we learn how to build resilience, become more flexible, and adapt to change as it happens.

The Committee invites session proposals that highlight ways in which libraries are adapting to change. Preference will be given to sessions that can be categorized into one of the following streams:

• Governance & Management
• Library Services & Programming
• Diversity & Inclusion
• Adaptability

We encourage all proposals to consider how the subject matter can be applied to rural libraries.

Sessions are 60 minutes in length and will be presented virtually, either pre-recorded or via Zoom. Zoom presentations will also be recorded and made available on our conference website.

Deadline for proposal submission is October 2, 2020. 

The full Call for Proposals is attached for further information.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
