*Request for Proposals*
*for Presentation & Breakout Sessions**
2009 Conference
Student Library Users: Deliver What They Need – The Way They Want It
Sponsored by the Librarians Association of the University of California,
Berkeley Division*

*Deadline: March 31, 2009*
The 2009 Librarians Association of the University of California, Berkeley
Division (LAUC-B) Conference Planning Committee invites proposals for
presentations and breakout sessions to be given at the 2009 Conference, Student
Library Users: Deliver What They Need – The Way They Want
It<http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LAUC/2009conference/>.
(http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/LAUC/2009conference/)  The Conference will be
held on October 23, 2009, at UC Berkeley's Clark Kerr Campus.
*
Conference Objectives:*

Student library users are changing faster than the libraries that serve
them. The multi-tasking, social networking generation wants instant
information. The Internet offers a global information marketplace; school
and university libraries need to retool or risk becoming neglected
storefronts.

What services do our student patrons really, really want? What skills should
academic librarians be learning today to be successful in the future? Can
libraries give users what they want and at the same time help them discern
quality information?

Join a day-long conversation among library educators, academic, school, and
young adult librarians and the students they serve. Through keynote
addresses, breakout sessions, and panel discussions, we will explore our
changing users and highlight innovative library services that point the way
to the future.

*Topics for Presentations:*

The Committee seeks *two* presenters to speak about innovative library
services that respond to the changing needs and behaviors of today's (and
tomorrow's) undergraduate users. Topics might include new service models
for:

   - reference services
   - library instruction
   - outreach to underserved user groups
   - engaging with users online via Web 2.0
   - space utilization
   - others

Presenters will give a 12-minute presentation as part of a three-person
panel, and will then facilitate a 45-minute breakout session for additional
discussion and questions.

*Stipends for Presenters/Session Facilitators:*

Presenters will receive a $200 stipend. Travel to Berkeley and one night's
accommodations will also be provided for presenters from outside the Bay
Area.
