Subject: 2013 ALISE Conference: Call for Participation

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

2013 ALISE Annual Conference "Always the Beautiful Question:  Inquiry

Supporting Teaching, Research, and Professional Practice" January 22-25,

Seattle, WA

Proposals are requested for the 2013 ALISE Annual Conference for Juried

Papers, Juried Panels, SIG Sessions, Doctoral Student Posters, and Works

in Progress Posters.

The conference theme is "Always the Beautiful Question:  Inquiry

Supporting Teaching, Research, and Professional Practice."  The desire

to know provides the fuel essential to effective learning and teaching,

theory and research, and improvements in professional practice.  The

processes that support finding out include a variety of behaviors that

range from conscious and deliberate investigation, to passive

information gathering, to serendipitous information acquisition, to

information pushed in from outside sources.  Likewise, there are many

different ways of knowing and methods of finding out.  This year's theme

celebrates the role of questions in library and information science and

seeks to explicate how questions are conceptualized, leveraged, pursued,

and harnessed by LIS educators and researchers.  The focus on questions

encourages exploration of pedagogical strategies, theory development,

research methods, and the evaluation of information resources,

practices, services, and systems.

The calls, with specific instructions for submission, are available on

the ALISE website:  http://www.alise.org.

Please note the following deadlines:

Juried Paper Proposals:  July 15

Juried Panel Proposals:  July 15

SIG Session Proposals:  July 15

Doctoral Student Poster Proposals:  October 1

Works in Progress Poster Proposals:  October 1

We look forward to an outstanding ALISE Conference in Seattle.

Sincerely,

Heidi Julien and Don Latham
