The Access
2022<https://accessconference.ca/2022/04/20/2022-call-for-proposals-open/>
Program Committee invites proposals for participation at our upcoming
conference, taking place October 12-14th, 2022 at Carleton University in Ottawa.
Access is Canada's premier annual library technology conference. Its
single-stream format features keynotes, presentations, lightning talks, and
plenty of opportunities to connect and socialize. The conference brings
together librarians, technicians, developers, programmers, and managers from
all library sectors to discuss unique and of-the-moment processes and
technologies.
We are planning an in-person event this year, but recognize the pandemic
continues to bring uncertainty. Presentation proposals should include your
preference for delivering your session 'remotely', 'in-person', or 'no strong
preference either way'. This information will help the Program Committee plan
the conference format that best meets the community's needs.
Depending on the volume of submissions, presenters may be limited to a single
session. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
We are seeking proposals for:
* 5-minute sessions
* Lightning talks! Any conference-related topic is welcome.
* 20-minute sessions (15 mins + 5 mins for questions)
* Demos, case studies, original research, theory, practice, etc.
Have another idea? Propose it!
* Proposals will be peer reviewed.
* 45-60-minute sessions
* Multi-presenter sessions such as panel discussions, etc.
* Proposals will be peer reviewed.
* Half-day workshops (1-3 hours)
* Propose a workshop you would like to lead or the topic of a workshop
you'd like to attend.
* Any conference-related topic is welcome. Innovative approaches are
welcome.
* Proposals will be peer reviewed.
Submission deadline
11:59 p.m. PST, May 11, 2022. Speakers will be notified of an acceptance
decision by the end of June.
