Call for proposals--ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITS)

ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group-Call for Proposals for ALA Midwinter 2015 meeting

The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITS) seeks
discussion facilitators for roundtable discussions for its meeting
at ALA Midwinter in 2015 held on February 1, 2015 at 3pm.

Housed within the Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services division of ALA, the Creative Ideas in Technical Services
Interest Group was created to provide a forum to discuss issues
related to the evolution of technical services.  The group is
especially interested in considering interdependency between
departments and the ways in which technical services impacts, and is
impacted by, technology.

Roundtable discussions are small, informal group discussions
intended to give participants the opportunity to network, discuss
best practices, and share information.  Table size for roundtable
discussions is capped at 10 participants per table.  Discussion
facilitators are responsible for identifying and developing a topic,
creating discussion questions, and facilitating a discussion at the
American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in Chicago in 2015.

Those interested in participating as a discussion facilitator should
submit a proposal that includes: The topic you wish to explore.
Topics should relate to acquisitions, cataloging and classification,
non-MARC metadata creation and remediation, or preservation.  How
the topic you wish to explore applies to the evolution of technical
services. Three sample discussion questions.

Please submit your proposal by November 3, 2014 to Erin Leach
