The Call for Proposal is now closed. We hope you will attend the conference and consider submitting a proposal for next year!

The 2011 NCDLA Call for Proposals is open until December 20, 2010.  All sessions will be conducted virtually using Elluminate, and will last 60 minutes, the the exception of Best Practices submissions which may be either 30 or 60 minutes.  Proposals may be of one of the following types:

 

  • Best practices / Lessons learned
  • Paper sessions
  • Panel Discussions
  • Products / Services Presentations and Demonstration

Proposals must address the conference theme, Engaging Online Learners, and should be designed for a web conferencing format.  Please follow the directions, How to submit a proposal, to submit your proposal online. Presenters will be notified by December 22, 2010 of their acceptance.  Once selected, presenters will have opportunities to attend Elluminate Orientation sessions.

How to submit a proposal

Proposals are submitted using an online process that does not require registration.   The online system does not allow the user to save any portion of the proposal, so it is strongly suggested that you follow the steps below to ensure an efficient process.

  1. Download and read the Call for Proposals overview
  2. Prepare the following sections of the proposal off-line, then copy and paste them into the online form during submission:
    1. Presentation Abstract - Provide a brief description of 100 words or less. If the proposal is accepted, this will be the description used in the online conference program. The program committee reserves the right to edit abstracts as needed for publication purposes.
    2. Presentation Description - Describe the goals and content of the proposed session in 300 words or less. This description should include the presentation objectives, a brief outline of the presentation, and an explanation of the expected outcomes relevant to the particular conference track.  This section is critical in the review process and will be carefully read by the selection committee.
