Call For Presentation Proposals
The joint program committees of our three chapters are accepting proposals for presentation at the virtual fall meeting on October 8-9, 2021. Presentations should be 30 minutes in length, not including time for questions. If you submit a proposal for a longer presentation and there is not enough room on the program, you may be asked to consider reformatting your topic for a lightning round session. While all proposals will be considered, we are especially interested in presentations addressing the following topics:
- Special collections
- Live or pre-recorded tours/showcases/demonstrationsTeaching with special collections
- Scholarly work produced using your institution’s special collections
- Music libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Diversity, equity, & inclusion in music libraries
The meeting will also include lightning round sessions. The purpose of lightning round sessions is to quickly share a concept or project. Sessions should last no more than 10 minutes.
How to Submit a Proposal
To propose either a full-length or lightning round session, please submit the names and contact information for all presenters along with an abstract of 100-300 words describing your presentation via this NEMLA/Texas/Mid-Atlantic Joint Meeting Proposal Form by September 3, 2021. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance into the program by September 10, 2021.
