Call for Support Staff and Circulation Services Program Proposals

Greetings fellow library enthusiasts!

Have an idea for a great program that relates to library support staff or circulation services?  Or just libraries in general?  Then consider presenting at this year's Support Staff & Circulation Services one-day conference, May 24th, on the picturesque UW-Baraboo/Sauk County campus.  Our theme this year is Support Staff Rocks!

The annual SSCS one-day conference is fast approaching, and the Board is busy filling out the program line-up.  We still have a few slots available, so get those submissions in soon!  Visit the SSCS Conference page through WLA's website, or follow the link below.

Cheers,

Greetings on this chilly, sunny day!

 

Planning for the 2018 WLA Support Staff and Circulation Services (SSCS) One-Day Professional Development Conference is in full swing! The conference will be held Thursday, May 24th, 2018 on the picturesque campus of UW-Baraboo.

 

The conference planning committee is now accepting proposals and recommendations for presentations, panels and workshops. Suggested topics include but are not limited to: technology, managing difficult patrons, training student workers, bringing the library outside, community partnerships, bridging the generational divide, stress reducers, etc. What is it that makes your library shine?  Successful presentations should be approximately 45 minutes, include 10-15 minutes of question and answer, showcase effective and innovative practices, and be applicable to many types of libraries.

 

Presenters should fill out the online registration form (linked below) by Friday, April 6th, 2018. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by April 13th at the latest. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.  We're looking forward to an excellent conference--and your program ideas help make it that way! 

 

Cheers!
