Paper and Immersion Session Guidelines | |
Your abstract will be categorized into one of seven MLA Areas of Practice:
Contributed papers are 10-15 minute presentations that are program description abstracts related to products, programs, technologies, administrative practices, and services conducted by librarians and information professions or are research abstracts on designing, conducting, and analyzing a research project. If your paper is selected, you will have the opportunity to indicate if you prefer to present online or in person. Immersion sessions are up to 75 minutes of “deep dives” into a single topic. The format may include interactive panel presentations, role-playing, gamification, discussions, working groups, and other activities engaging with the audience. Immersion sessions will be held in-person only. |
