The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) is accepting applications from prospective new presenters for the workshop 'Planning, Assessing, and Communicating Library Impact: Putting the Standards for Libraries in Higher Education into Action.' The day-long workshop is led by one or two expert presenters at locations across the country.
The workshop curriculum is designed to support librarians in applying the "Standards for Libraries in Higher Education" at their institutions. ACRL seeks to expand its pool of presenters by recruiting experienced individuals to join its existing team. Applications from individuals representing the full array of professional areas and services in academic and research librarianship are encouraged.
New presenters will gain experience by shadowing experienced presenters and team-teaching a section or assignment before taking a leading role. The workshop curriculum has been designed and presented in a variety of settings. There may be an occasional need to refresh the curriculum. New presenters would be expected to participate in these curriculum updates. Presenters may need to participate in planning calls and/or in-person meetings held in conjunction with the ALA Midwinter Meeting and/or Annual Conference.
Application materials are required to be submitted via email by 5 p.m. Central time on December 14, 2012, to Margot Conahan, ACRL manager of professional development, at mconahan@ala.org. Complete details, including qualifications, application information and more details on the workshops, are available on the ACRL Insider blog.
