Crossing the Threshold: Real Life Applications of the ACRL Framework
NELIG Annual Program, June 12, 2015 @ Bryant University

Call for Proposals

The New England Library Instruction Group (NELIG), an interest group of ACRL New England, requests breakout session proposals for its Annual Program entitled “Crossing the Threshold: Real Life Applications of the ACRL Framework” to be held at Bryant University, in Smithfield, RI, on Friday, June 12, 2015.  This year’s program will explore practical applications of the ACRL’s proposed Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

Each presenter should plan on speaking 30-35 minutes with an additional 10-15 minutes for question and discussion (45 minutes total). We are looking for individual, group, or panel presentations by librarians and/or their collaborative colleagues. Interactive workshops involving computers and hands-on activities will also be considered.
NELIG encourages librarians with any amount of experience to submit a proposal and we are dedicated to providing opportunities for librarians to learn practical ideas from one another. Please feel free to email us if you have any questions about presenting.  
 
Proposal topics may include but are not limited to the following:

• Applying threshold concepts in the classroom
• Combining the framework with the standards
• Bringing the framework into campus-wide conversations
• Assessing learning outcomes
• Developing research activities and assignments using the framework

Proposals are due March 2, 2015 and may be submitted below.

Questions should be directed to: acrlnelig@gmail.com.

Thank you!
