 in Salt Lake City will be our first opportunity to celebrate the diverse
and interconnected library work of Core members. From October 13-15, we'll
engage the collective expertise of presenters and participants,
facilitating thought-provoking conversations over two days of
presentations, table-top exhibits, and poster sessions. In addition,
attendees will have opportunities to safely reconnect with colleagues
during receptions, dine arounds, and in the uncommons space.

You are invited to submit a proposal for a thought-provoking and
highly-relevant to practitioners presentation in the following sections
within Core:

*Access and Equity*

Dedicated to advocacy and equity in areas such as accessibility, copyright,
dismantling systemic racism, equity of access, open access, net neutrality,
privacy, and representative collections in all types of libraries. We
support ALA's lobbying efforts in these areas and provide programming
and training in support of equity, diversity, and inclusion, both within
the division and the profession.

*Assessment*

Focuses on library assessment, evaluation, and measurement regardless of
type of library or activity. We emphasize the role of assessment in
demonstrating the impacts of our libraries. Our work includes recommending
and developing tools, methods, guidelines, standards, and policies and
procedures.

*Buildings and Operations*

Brings together librarians, library workers, and design professionals to
analyze, discuss, and share information related to academic, public, and
school library buildings, equipment, and furnishings.  Topics addressed
include, but are not limited to, library site selection; building planning
and architecture; library furniture and equipment; interior design;
maintenance and security of buildings and property; disaster recovery.

*Leadership and Management*

Provides librarians and library staff from any positional level or library
type who desire to impact the broader profession a space to connect around
the fundamental proficiencies and knowledge necessary to lead a successful
organization. We explore and develop members' skills to create an inspiring
vision, motivate people, and manage complex projects.

*Metadata and Collections*

Addresses and improves all aspects of acquisitions, cataloging,
collections, continuing resources, metadata, preservation, reformatting,
and technical services in all types of libraries. Examples of our work
include, but are not limited to, sharing best practices and knowledge in
work areas that support collections and discovery; identifying best
practices for equity, diversity, and inclusion in the development and
description of collections; creation and input on standards and best
practices for selection, acquisition, description, access, and preservation
of information resources; preservation of both print, media, and digital
resources.

*Technology*

Includes anyone in libraries, archives, museums, and information-related
organizations interested in leading edge technology and applications for
librarians and information providers, everyone from absolute beginners to
hi-tech professionals. We address the planning, development, design,
application, and integration of technologies within the library and
information environment, the impact of emerging technologies on library
service, and the effect of automated technologies on people.

*Presentation Opportunities*

*SESSION -* Concurrent sessions will be held on Friday and Saturday.
Presentations will be 45 minutes in length with 15 minutes for introduction
and Q&A. Presenters are required to present in-person and register at the
discounted presenter rate.

*PRECONFERENCE -* Half-day (3-4 hours) preconferences and tours (off-site
venue) will be held on Thursday. Presenters are required to present
in-person and a modest honorarium will be offered.

*POSTER - *The poster session offers the opportunity to share and promote
work, research, and ideas across the Forum's content areas identified in
the bulleted list above. Print poster presentations will be available
throughout the Forum, with special time reserved during the 2-day event for
participants to ask questions and engage in chat conversation with the
presenters.

*Proposals will be evaluated on the following points:*

   1. Relevance to the Forum's program tracks and audience
   2. Opportunities for learning and applicability to current library trends
   3. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

*We encourage diversity in presenters from a wide range of background,
libraries, and experiences. We deliberately seek and strongly encourage
submissions from underrepresented groups, such as women, people of color,
the LGBTQA+ community, and people with disabilities. We also strongly
encourage submissions from public, school, and special libraries.*

Vendors wishing to submit a proposal should partner with a library
representative who is evaluating/using the product or service.

Presenters will submit final presentation slides and/or electronic content
(video, audio, etc.) to be made available online following the event.

the Forum as attendees.
