[Eril-l] Call for ALA Conference Panelists: Learners of 2030: Preparing for Literacies and Skills of the Future

[Melissa Atkinson]

Hello!

The ACRL Distance and Online Learning Section (DOLS) Conference Program
Planning Committee is soliciting speakers for their panel
presentation, “Learners
of 2030: Preparing for Literacies and Skills of the Future.” This program
will be a 60-minute interactive panel presentation held at the ALA
Conference, June 22 through June 27, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois (exact date
and time are pending schedule announcements from ALA). The program
description is as follows:

Abstract: All types of libraries are shifting workflows and materials to
teach patrons the expertise needed for job skill sets required to be
successful in careers that do not yet exist. Join this panel session to
hear from a diverse set of librarians on their perspectives, resources, and
services related to needed skills, literacies, technologies, and the ways
digital and online learning can be leveraged for the future. Engage with
colleagues to begin to understand this new landscape and how we can prepare
to better serve our patrons in academic, public, and school libraries.

We are seeking speakers from a variety of academic libraries, especially
libraries serving a diverse student population. Speakers should be
knowledgeable about and experienced with identifying and teaching new
literacies, selecting and using technologies to craft an equitable and
ethical future for all learners, and able to present on one of the
session’s proposed learning outcomes:

Learning Outcomes:

   -

   Attendees will be able to describe projected shifts in the job market
   and in the composition of learner populations.
   -

   Attendees will be able to identify new literacies, critical thinking,
   and technology skills that will be needed to be successful in the future.
   -

   Attendees will be able to develop strategies to prepare for these needs
   at their libraries.
