The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) is inviting proposals for programmes to be presented during the 2014 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference. The conference will be held from June 26 - July 1 in Las Vegas.
The deadline for pre-conference submissions is 11:59 p.m. CDT on May 27, 2013. The deadline for concurrent session submissions is 11:59 p.m. CDT on August 26, 2013. More information is available at www.ala.org/aasl/aaslrfp.
AASL seeks proposals for 60- or 90-minute concurrent sessions and half- or full-day pre-conference workshops. All programmes should include up to three learning objectives and should address how the session supports the AASL Strategic Plan, the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and/or Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs. The AASL Annual Conference committee will evaluate proposals for clarity, originality and timeliness.
