Last Chance to Submit Your Proposal for 2015 Amigos Member Conference

"New Perspectives: The Library Revised" has been chosen as the theme for the annual Amigos Member Conference, May 13-14, and we are currently seeking presenters.

Changes in technology, the economy, and user expectations are driving an era of unprecedented upheaval in libraries. In response to this shifting of the library landscape, libraries are revising services, buildings, staffing patterns, collections, technology use and purchasing practices. They are working smarter and adapting to the ever-changing roles of libraries and librarians. This conference will address these issues and provide new perspectives revising your library.

Topics under consideration for presentations include:

• Managing the migration to digital information services
• Rethinking publishing
• Redeploying library staff
• Repurposing library space
• New services
• Use of social media
• Doing more with less
• Alternative programming

The deadline for proposals is March 11. Time is running out, so let us hear from you soon! If you can speak on one of these topics or have another idea in mind, please submit your proposal using this form. Don't worry if you've never presented online. It’s easy and we will be happy to train you, and we’ll provide you plenty of technical support during your presentation.
