Welcome library professionals!

Thank you for your interest in the 2022 CTLC Conference, held this year virtually on July 29, 2022. This is an opportunity to come together to celebrate exciting developments within our field and learn from our peers as we reflect on our successes and challenges as they relate to this year’s theme: Building the New Normal.

As the Pandemic wanes, Libraries of all types that adapted to meet user needs/expectations during a time of historic and unexpected change now face “The New Normal”. We encourage you to submit proposals that highlight efforts in building programs that your institute developed during the pandemic. We also encourage you to submit proposals that would be of interest to recent graduates, new librarians, or the role of professional organizations (TLA, ALA, ACRL) and how they can benefit librarians.

We are inviting proposals for 25-minute or 50-minute presentations, 40-minute panel discussions, 3-minute lightning talks, and pre-recorded poster presentations.

We encourage a variety of formats, including presentations on innovative approaches to current library challenges, workshops on specific topics, panel discussions on contemporary library issues, and other proposals for training and sharing information.

Our primary goal is to promote information sharing, awareness of successful programs, and an affordable training opportunity for libraries in the region. Please consider:

• What has worked well for your organization?

• What has excited your co‐workers and patrons about your library recently?

• Public service programs that have attracted patrons’ interest.

• Technical innovations that were successful. (OER’s, Virtual Services, Electronic Reserves, Repositories, Copyright Issues)

• What programs did your library develop during the pandemic that will continue post pandemic?

We will accept proposals from all types of libraries, including but not limited to academic, school, public, and special libraries. The proposal deadline is June 6th 2022.

We are currently working on a CTLC Pre Conference scheduled for July 28th, The Pre conference will include a grant-funded keynote speaker. Details on the Pre Conference schedule and presentations will be forthcoming.
