Call for Proposals: Lightning Talks
We are now accepting proposals from VALL members for the upcoming Lightning Talks taking place on Wednesday April 10, 2024 from 12-1 PM via Zoom. Lightning Talks distill a larger topic into a 5 to 10 minute overview of the most relevant material. Presenters of all levels are invited to share recent innovative library projects in various stages of development (such as weeding projects), interesting research and new approaches to providing services in public, private and academic law libraries. We welcome a diverse range of topics, both big and small, relating to legal information management, and encourage you to share your recent experiences and insights.
For inspiration, please visit the Members Only section of the VALL website to view the video recording of VALL’s past Lightning Talks: “Current Projects” presented on September 29, 2022.
Proposals should be no more than one or two paragraphs summarizing your topic. Please submit your proposal by email to vallexec@gmail.com by March 15, 2024 for consideration. Consider addressing the following questions in your proposal:
- What is the title of your lightning talk?
- What is the primary point you want to convey to the audience?
- What new information will your audience have by the end of your talk?
- Why are you interested in/passionate about this topic?
- Why should VALL members know more about your topic?
Up to five (5) presentations will be accepted for this session. Invited presenters will be notified by email from the VALL Executive Committee by March 22, 2024.
