California Conference on Library Instruction is a one-day conference held in lovely Northern California. This year’s annual program in the Cooperage on the Sonoma State University campus will be on Friday, April 17, 2015, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The program, “Teaching and Reaching Your Students in Environments of Rapid Change,” will explore new and practical ways to craft innovative experiences for learners. Think about the buzz words of today: maker, hack, design, engage, community, framework, scalable, ethical, sustainable, etc. These are some of the ways librarians are working with library instruction.

What ways are you are approaching instruction in environments of rapid change? We’re looking for your best instruction plans, how you're adapting to new modes of learning, creative ways you're reorganizing and assessing your work, your unconventional curriculum, your quirky exercises, your strategic advocacy tactics (for these programs on your campus), what you have learned from your failures, etc!

All individuals submitting proposals will be notified no later than December 17th. Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer-review process.
