Selection Criteria and Presenter Requirements

Selection Criteria
The ACRL 2011 National Conference component committees will evaluate the content of your proposal for relevance to the conference tracks, clarity, originality, and timeliness. Proposals should be for original work that has not been previously published.  Special attention will be given to proposals that:

• generate ideas or report research that contribute to ongoing discussion about the future of academic and research libraries;
• demonstrate innovative thinking;
• contribute ideas for positioning academic and research librarians to be leaders both on and off campus;
• present strategies for effectively implementing new ideas and technology; and encourage active learning among conference attendees.

Requirements
ACRL National Conference presenters will be required to:

• register for and attend the conference (complimentary registration may be requested for non-librarian presenters);
• grant permission for possible taping (dynamic screen capture) and broadcast of their presentation;
• assign ACRL first publication rights, as papers will be published as part of the ACRL conference proceedings; and
• contributed paper presenters must provide completed papers in both hard copy and electronic versions by the deadline date.
