Theme: Agility in Business Librarianship
Location: 2012 SLA Annual Conference – Chicago, IL
Date/Time: 16 July 2012 (Monday) – 4:00PM – 5:30PM

In this call for posters, the Business & Finance Division of SLA is providing an opportunity for business librarians to share ideas and develop research collaborations. Over the last few years both public and private organizations have had to make difficult choices among people, services, and resources. We are looking for case studies or practical applications on how business librarians are integrating “agility” into their work including:

• Services or standards that promote agility
• Agile approaches to business information education
• Assessment of agile initiatives
• Librarian / faculty / college collaboration
• Utilizing new technologies for increased staff agility
• Business information education in multi-disciplinary contexts
• Outsourcing / insourcing / co-sourcing / offshoring / multisourcing services/resources
• Using agility to promote business research services

Help your colleagues learn from your work, both successful and unsuccessful.

Share the results of your efforts at the upcoming poster session at SLA in Chicago, July 2012.

This session is sponsored by the Business & Finance Division and the College & University Business Libraries Section.

Guidelines for materials and layout of poster presentations are available on the Business & Finance Division website.

The deadline for abstract submissions is 12 March 2012. Please submit your name, institution, fax, email address, poster title, and description (250 words or less) by email, fax, or surface mail to Trip Wyckoff at the address given below.
