Call for Programs for 2011 ALA Annual Conference

Tell YALSA your great ideas!  It’s time to think about programs for
ALA’s 2011 Annual Conference in New Orleans June 23 – 28, 2011.  If
you think you would like to present a program for YALSA at Annual 2011
you need to complete an online form at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/yalsa/aboutyalsa/yalsaform.cfm

You can turn in a form for any program idea you have, but YALSA’s
Program Clearinghouse Committee is specifically looking for programs
that address the following topics: 1) Engaging the after school crowd,
2) Promoting reading with web 2.0 tools, 3) Innovative teen
programming, 4) Programming for older teens and 5) Managing your teen
advisory group.

Other desirable traits in programs are: 1) those that include speakers
or presenters from outside the library community, 2) those that offer
practical information attendees can take back home and implement ASAP
and 3) programs that are interactive.

Anyone can submit a proposal.  You don’t have to be affiliated with a
YALSA Committee/jury/taskforce.  Only one proposal per person and/or
group is permitted.  Proposals that advertise or promote only one
particular product or author will not be considered.  If your proposal
is accepted, you will be expected to fund your own travel and related
expenses at the conference.  All proposals must be turned in by
January 19th 2010.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Program
Clearinghouse Chair Jodie Cleman at cleman at hcplonline.info.

Thank you!
