[Libs-Or] 2018 OLA CONFERENCE CALL FOR PROPOSALS

[OLA Conference Programs]

The Oregon Library Association is pleased to announce the submission site
for OLA Conference Programs for the 2018 OLA Annual Conference, which will
take place in Eugene, OR, April 18-21, 2018, is *NOW OPEN*!



The Conference Committee invites OLA members and non-members alike to
submit their program ideas for consideration. Once again, we will offer
half-day and full-day pre-conferences on Wednesday, regular concurrent
sessions on Thursday and Friday, and a full day of programming – with an
emphasis on topics that especially appeal to members of OLA’s Oregon
Association of School Libraries division – on Saturday.



OLA President Buzzy Nielsen selected this year’s conference theme: “Many
Points of Light, One Bright Future,” which is the slogan for the Libraries
of Eastern Oregon <http://librariesofeasternoregon.org/wp-site/>. OLA was
granted permission to borrow their tagline – and adapt their logo – to
highlight OLA’s on-going commitment to outreach, support, and collaboration
with rural and small libraries. Read more about Buzzy’s theme choice here:

Keep in mind the proposal process is competitive and it’s unlikely that
every proposal will be accepted. Applicants are encouraged to think
creatively about how their program connects to this year’s conference theme!



The deadline for submissions is *9:00PM, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2017*. All
submissions will be notified of acceptance or rejection by November 17,
2017.
