AccessYYZ: Call for Proposals September 8-11, 2015 Access is Canada’s premier library technology conference, bringing together librarians, technicians, developers, and programmers to discuss cutting-edge library technologies. This is the 22nd year of Access and we’re thrilled to bring the conference to Toronto, Ontario! AccessYYZ will be held at the beautiful Bram and Bluma Appel Salon at the Toronto Reference Library in September 2015. This year, we’re looking for the most innovative and creative ways that tech has been or could be implemented in your library - whether it’s big, small, or completely theoretical! Are you using a Raspberry Pi to build custom hardware? How might linked open data changing your day-to-day library services in the future? Have you been working to foster a renewed culture of tech exploration among your staff? We want to hear all about it! We would especially love to see proposals from public libraries, special libraries, and other places outside the ivory tower that are using library technologies in new and innovative ways. In time-honoured Access tradition, we want to take advantage of the flexibility of single track conference planning by letting you propose your preferred session length and format. Let us know if you want to do a traditional talk, a poster presentation, a demo, Pecha Kucha, a lightning talk, a panel of experts or something completely different. Be creative! In your proposal, let us know... * Your name, position, and affiliation * If you’ve presented at Access before * The format of your proposed session * In 1-2 paragraphs, the content of your proposed session * And, if your presentation is not accepted in its proposed format, if you would be willing to present in an alternate format (e.g. poster presentation, lightning talk, panel) Please submit proposals to accesslib...@gmail.commailto:accesslib...@gmail.commailto:accesslib...@gmail.com by March 20, 2015.
