[CALIBK12] FW: call for proposals - library SIG of AERA

[Jo Ellen Misakian]

FYI...

Note: FPU¹s own Terry Bese will be presenting and would welcome a
co-presenter. Terry is in the ed. tech. doctoral program at Pepperdine
University and is strong on the research segment, but would like a library
media teacher to provide the library program perspective.
