COVID-19 UPDATE:

Greetings from the WPWVC-ACRL Program Committee,
 
The WPWVC-ACRL Program Committee with the approval of the WPWVC-ACRL Board have determined that the Spring 2020 Conference will no longer be held as an in person event.  The Committee weighed several options for the conference and determined that the best option is to hold the conference as a series of webinars over the summer of 2020.
 
We would like to announce that the first webinar will stream live on June 12, 2020 at 10:00 am.
 
Session Title: The Power of Presence: Uncovering the Unasked Questions
 
Main Speaker:  Jeffrey Knapp, Penn State University
 
Speaker Bio: Jeff is the Larry & Ellen Foster Librarian for Communications at Penn State, serving the Bellisario College of Communications, the largest accredited mass communications program in the United States. In addition to library and information science, his academic background includes international politics and history, with professional experience in marketing communications. Jeff believes it is his professional responsibility to be interested in everything. His research interests involve the role of academic librarianship and potential futures for the profession in an ever-changing information environment.

Mark your calendar for the upcoming Spring Conference at Duquesne University and submit a session proposal!  We'd love to hear from you. 
What’s to Fear? Learning from Failure
May 18, 2018
Duquesne University, Pittsburgh PA


The WPWVC/ACRL Program Committee invites proposals for sessions at the upcoming Spring conference at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

Although we don’t always recognize it, problems, mistakes, and unexpected issues are a regular part of our work processes.  The 2018 conference theme centers on failures and missteps, obstacles and challenges, and how libraries and librarians have faced them.  We want to hear about projects, programs, and ideas that didn’t go as planned.  What did you do differently? What did you learn?  How did you bounce back?  How did you grow?  This year we will embrace failures and obstacles to reveal how they have motivated and shaped us.

Types of sessions:
45 minute
 – can include in-depth presentations, panel presentations, Q&A sessions, roundtable discussions
10 minute or less – can include lightning round style short presentations, PechaKucha, Ignite
Posters – for Graduate Students only

While proposals related to the program theme will receive a higher priority, all topics related to academic libraries are welcomed and encouraged.

Please submit a proposal (max. 150 words) at https://tinyurl.com/WPWVCSpring2018 
by March 16, 2018.
Notifications of acceptance will be made by April 2, 2018 after a blind peer-review process. Questions about presentations and submissions may be directed to the Program Committee <program.wpwv.chapter@gmail.com>.

The WPWVC/ACRL Program Committee: Rhonda Donaldson (chair), Lori Hostuttler, Brad Coffield, Amy Lee Heinlen, Jacqueline Klentzin, Traci Mays, and Jessica Vanderhoff.
