SERVING USER COMMUNITIES

SUBMIT PROPOSALS AT WWW.IOLUG.ORG[1]



      DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2019

Submissions are invited for the IOLUG Spring 2019 Conference, to be  
held May 10th in Indianapolis, IN. Submissions are welcomed from all  
types of libraries and on topics related to the theme of data in  
libraries.
Libraries and librarians work with data every day, with a variety of  
applications - circulation, gate counts, reference questions, and so  
on. The mass collection of user data has made headlines many times in  
the past few years. Analytics and privacy have, understandably, become  
important issues both globally and locally. In addition to being aware  
of the data ecosystem in which we work, libraries can play a pivotal  
role in educating user communities about data and all of its  
implications, both favorable and unfavorable.

The Conference Planning Committee is seeking proposals on topics  
related to data in libraries, including but not limited to:  

   *       Using tools/resources to find and leverage data to solve  
problems and expand knowledge,
   *       Data policies and procedures,
   *       Harvesting, organizing, and presenting data,
   *       Data-driven decision making,
   *       Learning analytics,
   *       Metadata/linked data,
   *       Data in collection development,
   *       Using data to measure outcomes, not just uses,
   *       Using data to better reach and serve your communities,
   *       Libraries as data collectors,
   *       Big data in libraries,
   *       Privacy,
   *       Social justice/Community Engagement,
   *       Algorithms,
   *       Storytelling, and
   *       Libraries as positive stewards of user data.


The Conference Planning Committee encourages presentations that are  
practical, hands-on, and include take-awayable tools, techniques,  
and/or strategies that librarians, library staff, and information  
professionals can implement to improve their resources and services  
for patrons, students, faculty, etc.


We are especially interested in hearing from presenters who would like  
to lead a longer workshop around the conference theme. Workshops could  
cover multiple session times and have use of the on-site computer lab,  
if desired.


Presentations will be reviewed and selected by the Conference Planning  
Committee.
