Subject: [WAIN] 6th New Librarians Symposium - Call for proposals

Hi everyone,

The 6th New Librarians Symposium is going to challenge you to Be Different in more ways than one! We're developing an action and ideas-packed program filled with a range of speakers from across the industry (and outside it), and with all levels of experience: why not be one of them?

We are very excited to announce that we have now opened the call for proposals for NLS6!

We are looking at putting together a program that provokes debate, inspires action, questions assumptions, and shares experiences to arm delegates with the strategies and confidence to be different.

How you want to do this is up to you; this is why we are asking for presentation proposals, not abstracts for a paper. A paper might not be the best form for expressing your idea! Papers are very welcome of course, but don't limit your thinking to this format; if you can see another way, go for it!

We are offering 20 or 40 minute slots (including questions) in the program. Your proposal should address one of our six sub-theme areas:

Inspire: opening minds, expanding horizons
Imagine: the future of the information professions
Create: creativity, innovation and risk taking
Lead: in our profession and beyond
Climb: professional development opportunities, gaps, strategies
Leap: diverse career options for information professionals

For more information, mosey on over to the NLS6 web site:
