Call for Lightening Round presenters for the 2016 GHSLA / AHSLC Joint Meeting

The first day of our meeting, April 7th, will include a one hour slot for lightening rounds on the topic: How are you key to your community?

This session will give library staff members a chance to share innovative ideas about how the library and its staff are an integral part of the community they serve, whether it’s students, health care professionals, faculty, or the public.

Presentations may last 10 minutes, can be supported by a PowerPoint presentation, handouts, etc. and will be followed by audience questions. Time allotted will depend on how many abstracts are submitted and accepted.

If you have an idea for a topic that you would like to present, please send a short abstract to: [email protected].  Please include your name, your institution, a presentation title, and desired outcomes of your presentation.

The deadline has been extended to Friday, January 29, 2016.
