This year's two-day event will be held at the Hotel Baronette, Novi, Michigan.  Keynote speakers include: Dr. Carol Tenopir, Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and author of the "Online Databases" column for Library Journal and Lori A. Goetsch , current President of ACRL, and Dean of Libraries and Professor at Kansas State University.

We invite proposals to present at "Academic Libraries 2010: Explore, Discover, Connect," the Michigan Library Association's first two-day event highlighting trends and issues in academic libraries.  Deadline for submitting a program proposal:      November 30, 2009. 

This event will showcase state and national cutting-edge trends, identify Michigan's unique issues, and connect academic library staff to their peers and colleagues. The Academic Libraries 2010 Work Group seeks a variety of proposals that will address topics that reflect the range of professional responsibilities found in academic libraries and that introduce new ideas or solutions to the challenges currently facing academic libraries. We encourage broad participation from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges, and community colleges) and job responsibilities (including but not limited to librarians, staff, and administrators).
