(Off-Site Meeting/Summit)
Over the past four decades, the Section on Education and Training (SET) has supported and enhanced library and information science (LIS) education and training based on research and professional practice on an international scale. During the 2014 IFLA conference in Lyon, Monday, August 18, 2014 , SET will celebrate its 40th anniversary with an off-site summit at ENSSIB (École Nationale Supérieure des Sciences de l'Information et des Bibliothèques http://www.enssib.fr/). The summit will address SET’s history and future by creating a collaborative forum for critical discussion that includes panels, keynotes, and Ignite sessions.
Ignite is a fast-paced event started in 2006 (http://igniteshow.com/howto) that uses the Ignite talk format. Speakers present a topic using 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds, giving each speaker 5 minutes total.
We will have two, one-hour Ignite sessions with 10 presenters for each session. This call is for one of the sessions with the theme of "LIS education in 2050”. The presentations are meant to generate awareness and stimulate action on LIS education, training and research.
Proposals should be submitted to Breanne Crumpton [log in to unmask] and Clara. M. Chu [log in to unmask] and should include:
