Due to overwhelming demand, the Charleston Conference has decided to
extend our Call for Papers deadline to Friday, July 13th.

The form is online at:
http://www.katina.info/conference/callforpapers.php.  We are looking
for proposals that tie into our theme for 2012, "Accentuate the
Positive!"  The main conference will be held from Thursday, November
8, through Saturday, November 10, and we are seeking proposals for the
following sessions:

Lively Lunches: 75 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, focused on
audience interaction and discussion

Concurrent Sessions: 45 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, standard
presentation with 5-10 minutes for Q&A.

Innovation Sessions: 30 minute sessions on Saturday, focused on new
technology, innovations, etc.

Poster Sessions: 90 minute sessions on Thurs or Fri, 6 ft. table and
chairs provided. You are responsible for bringing your own poster and
display board appropriate for table top display.

Shotgun Sessions: 6 minute, 40 second PowerPoint presentations of 20
slides at 20 seconds each. A group of topically related Shotgun
Sessions will be grouped together in a single concurrent session time
slot.

Specifically, we'd like to have a series of Shotgun Sessions (short,
Petcha Kutcha-like sessions of 6 minutes, 20 seconds each) relating to
success stories in the library.  Our other topical threads are listed
on the proposal form.

Please contact Leah Hinds with any questions at [log in to unmask]  We
look forward to seeing you in Charleston this November!
