Dear Colleagues,
In lieu of attempting a full-scale peer group meeting this spring, I write to solicit your proposals for lightning talks (5-7 minutes total) on topics of interest to VCCS libraries.
Some suggested themes:
• LibGuides Show and Tell
• New and Now - Information Literacy Instruction Innovations
• Making Alma Analytics Work for You
• If your idea doesn't really fit into one of these categories, no problem, please propose your talk anyway!
Date: The session date(s) will be late April through May; exact session dates TBD based on presenter availability. Ideally there will be enough speakers to create a several 45-minute sessions with multiple talks on a theme, with plenty of time for Q&A.
Format: These sessions will be held via Zoom. These are to be lightning talks, no more than five to seven minutes total length. Presenters should briefly describe a program, initiative, or event and highlight the results or lessons learned.
Please submit your lightning round proposal using this form no later than Friday, March 11:
