The deadline for submissions has now passed and all applicants have been notified.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION:

Proposals can be submitted online (see form below). Only electronic proposals will be accepted.

Three types of proposals will be accepted:

Breakout Session: A 45 minute presentation followed by a 10-15 minute question and answer period. The proposal will include a description of the research and an outline of the presentation.
Discussion Session: A structured session to allow participants to share knowledge. The proposal will include a theme and its importance, discussion points, means to facilitate discussion, and how the information will be summarized and be disseminated back to all conference attendees.
Poster Session: Proposals for poster sessions will be limited to graduate students currently enrolled in a library and information science program. The LOEX conference poster session allows graduate students to graphically convey research in the areas of instruction and information literacy. Poster sessions should include brief narratives, data, graphics that quickly summarize the student’s research. Posters can also include computer displays, handouts, directions to websites and other materials to elaborate on the student’s research or allow conference attendees to learn more about the student’s research following the conference. A time will be set aside to view the posters, and allow conference attendees to interact with, and ask questions of, poster presenters.

Preference will be given to new, innovative, creative, untraditional, and other ventures that people called crazy until they worked.

Deadline for proposal submission is Friday, November 10, 2006.

The primary contact on the proposal will be notified that that the proposal has been received by Friday, November 17, 2006. The primary contact on the proposal will be notified if the proposal has been accepted by Friday, January 12, 2007.
