The 9th annual ILAGO Information Literacy Summit will be held May
16, 2015 at Columbia Gorge Community College's Hood River Campus.
The theme for this year's IL Summit is Accelerated Learning, but
we invite a variety of presentations related to information
literacy.<br>
<br>
Oregon is implementing accelerated learning programs across the
state, which enable high school students to earn college credit
for courses that they take in a K-12 setting through partnerships
with credit-granting community colleges and 4-year institutions.
Examples include the Eastern Promise collaboration between
colleges and school districts in rural parts of the state; and the
Challenge and Senior Inquiry programs at Portland State University
that serve the metro area.<br>
<br>
We are particularly interested in proposals for presentations that
help us understand the implications of accelerated learning for
librarians and for students acquiring information literacy skills,
such as:<br>
<ul>
<li>Perspectives of school librarians serving high school
students enrolled in college classes</li>
<li>Impact of accelerated learning on public librarians</li>
<li>Partnerships between college/university libraries and
accelerated learning programs</li>
<li>Insight on the new landscape of high school</li>
<li>Best practices for providing equivalent library resources
and services to K-12 students</li>
<li>Success stories of students in accelerated programs and
beyond</li>
<li>Other information literacy topics are welcome as well!</li>
</ul>
The Summit typically has 60-80 attendees who come from many areas
of practice (higher ed, public, K-12) and are eager to hear new
ideas and ways to approach information literacy. We invite you to
submit proposals for panels, presentations, discussions on best
practices, and other programs.<br>
<br>
Programs should be designed to run for a total of 45 minutes
including Q&A.<br>
<br>
Program proposals will be accepted until Friday, March 13, 2015.<br>
<br>
Please submit your proposals here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/mail.wou.edu/forms/d/1YeAvd7WnilBauQvX9fCdfuGGqGIj0blkGEvE3mo6aLM/viewform" target="_blank">ILAGO IL Summit Program Proposal</a><br>
<br>
We look forward to hearing from you.<br>
