General
The primary objective of the Off-Campus Library Services Conference is to provide a forum where practitioners and administrators involved with library services for off-campus constituents can gather to exchange relevant ideas, concerns, perspectives and pertinent research
The program offers a featured speaker, concurrent paper sessions, poster sessions, workshops and discussion groups. The Off-Campus Library Services scholarship winner will give a presentation. Opportunities are provided for informal networking among participants. The schedule reflects geographic, philosophic, and programmatic diversity in off-campus programs. Conference proceedings and a detailed program will be distributed to all registrants.
The conference is organized around these five topic tracks for convenience and to prevent overlapping as much as possible:
- Research-surveys, assessment, statistics, theories, overviews
- Teaching and learning-method, strategies, models, one-on-one,
classroom - Electronic information and delivery-collection development, e-books, databases, web technology, virtual reference
- Administration and support services-program development, ILL, document delivery, reference management systems, collection development, budgets, staffing
- Collaboration-librarian, faculty, consortia or other
Discussion Groups
After you have registered you may want to participate in the Wednesday afternoon Drop-In Discussion sessions. Each informal group will share information, network and solve common problems about specific topics.
Workshop Registration
To attend one of the workshops which last for 2 hours or 2 concurrent sessions you need to register separately from the Conference registration. There are a limited number of slots available so register early.
