The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has announced that ‘From Groundwork to Action’, the 2010 National Diversity in Libraries Conference (NDLC), will take place from July 14-16, 2010, in Princeton, New Jersey. The biennial NDLC seeks to serve as a regional meeting for library staff members to discuss diversity issues, especially issues common to the host region’s culture.
The 2010 NDLC Planning Committee has called for proposals for presentation at the conference. Conference presentations are sought in all areas of diversity including – but not limited to - workplace, user services and technology.
The deadline for submitting proposals is October 2, 2009. Those interested in participating in the event can consult the NDLC wiki for further information regarding presentation formats, selection criteria and submission guidelines.
ARL, a nonprofit organisation of 123 research libraries in North America, aims to influence the changing environment of scholarly communication and the public policies that affect research libraries and the diverse communities they serve. It seeks to advance the goals of its member research libraries; provide leadership in public and information policy to the scholarly and higher education communities; foster the exchange of ideas and expertise; and shape a future environment that leverages its interests with those of allied organisations.
