KLA-CULS Fall Conference
October 14 - 15, 2010
Emporia State University, Memorial Union
"Originate, Create, Renovate, and Innovate: Leading Revolution in the Academic Library"
Registration Form (print)
Just like the song in the Gatorade commercial states, “If you want a revolution, the only solution – evolve.” Academic librarians are poised more than ever now to lead, revolutionize and evolve for our changing clienteles!
Along those lines, the KLA-CULS Fall Conference is also changing this year. We are offering an intensive one-day conference on Friday, October 15, with a range of Pecha Kucha sessions, presentations and workshops dedicated to your professional development needs. We are also presenting a preconference the afternoon of Thursday, October 14, featuring Jonathan Morris of the KU Public Management Center speaking about leadership in the academic library.
Want to build upon your idea? Publish your presentation in open access peer-reviewed conference proceedings via New Prairie Press! This is a new venture for KLA-CULS, and we are very excited about YOUR contributions to scholarly communications. Please indicate on the form whether or not you plan to write a paper based upon your Pecha Kucha session or traditional session.
