The Special Libraries Association Annual Conference and Trade Show is only weeks away! Join us June 12th through 15th in Philadelphia, PA. Here is a preview of some of the terrific programs by the Academic Division:
Teaching Generation M:
Join this “café discussion” which features editors and contributors to the book Teaching Generation M: A Handbook for Librarians and Educators. The “speed dating” format of the session will provide lots of interaction and liveliness. The Academic Division co-sponsors this event with the Education Division, and it is generously sponsored by Lexis Nexis. Join us Monday 4:00pm-5:30pm for this engaging session.
So They Say You Have to Publish? Some Editors of Journals for Special Librarians Tell You How It's Done:
“Publish or Perish” is the motto by which academics including academic librarians must abide for a promising future at a college or university. Join notable editors Anita Ezzo, Leslie Reynolds, Lisa O’Connor, and Tony Stankus for their perspectives on the process and perils of publishing successfully. The Academic Division co-sponsors this session with the Biomedical and Life Sciences Division and it is sponsored by Taylor and Francis. It all happens on Monday from 2:00pm-3:30pm.
SPOTLIGHT SESSION: Collaborations Across Disciplines:
Learn about a diverse array of efforts being undertaken to help researchers collaborate across disciplines. A six member panel of speakers will include representatives from FriendFeed, Mendeley, Collexis, VIVO, and BibApp. The relevance and usefulness of this program has caused SLA to deem it one of the Spotlight Sessions of the 2011 Annual Conference. The Academic Division co-sponsors this session with the Division of Food, Agriculture, and Nutrition and is scheduled for Monday from 2:00pm to 3:30pm.
This is only a taste of the events the Academic Division has in store for the Annual Conference. If you haven’t registered for the conference yet, there's still time! And remember to show the Academic Division some “brotherly love” by attending our great lineup of programs and events!
See you in Philly!
