The ALAO Conference Planning Committee is so excited about the possibilities for proposals for presentations for the 2013 Annual Conference. This year's conference theme: "The Changing Faces of Academic Libraries: Transforming, Reorganizing, Re-imagining" is so important to everyone in academic libraries today. Change is inevitable.

*  Exclude the name of your institution, department and any personal names in the abstract to expedite the blind review process. You do not need to exclude this information in the brief description.
*  You will be contacted regarding your AV/technology requirements when your proposal is accepted.
*  All presenters will be responsible for their own registration and travel costs.
*  Please print a copy of the completed form for your records before submitting.
