Hello Members,
The ASCLA (Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies) has extended the deadline for the Call for Proposals for the 2014 conference cycle. While the ASCLA is not primarily focused on correctional education, librarians in correctional settings are instrumental in providing educational resources and materials to both inmate students and their educators. Please visit their website at: http://ascla.ala.org/blog/2013/04/call-for-proposals-ascla-2014-programs-preconferences-institutes/ for additional information.
What sorts of topics are of interest? The best topics represent ASCLA’s core member areas–state library agencies, special populations librarians, independent librarians and library consultants, and resource-sharing librarians at networks and cooperatives–but are also of interest to librarians throughout the profession from all types of libraries. Keep in mind that topics should still be relevant in January and June 2014 when they are finally presented! You can browse our interest group list here for inspiration.
Best to all,
Heather
