What is PRIM?<br>
<br>
PRIM stands for the Primo Reference & Instruction Meeting. It is a way for reference and instruction librarians across the Alliance to meet to discuss how the Primo/Alma Shared ILS affects our work. It is also an opportunity for non-Alliance librarians to meet colleagues to learn more about Primo and share their knowledge of Reference & Instruction. We are expanding this year's conference to include all aspects of reference and instruction as well as conversations about Primo. Registration is limited. There is no cost for registration but we ask for $10.00 to help cover the cost of lunch.<br>
<br>
Theme: Focus – Engagement - Literacy<br>
<br>
We seek people who want to share their enthusiasm in working with students through poster sessions, presentation, breakout sessions, panel discussions, and/or interactive workshops which explore the contexts of teaching, communicating, learning, collaborating, and conversing with students both in class settings and in our work environments. Our goal is to increase awareness and encourage diversity of understanding across all types of libraries, schools, and other library organizations through this call for proposals. Please note successful proposals have clear, engaging takeaways and frequently are interactive. Submissions for review due: April 26, 2017.
