Registration for this full-day Unconference is free for any ALA Annual attendee and will be taken on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the 75 slots are filled, we will open up a waiting list for additional people to register. When you register for this event, you must provide your name, affiliation, email address, and an idea either for a talk you'd like to give or a topic you're willing to facilitate a discussion about. Your proposed topic should be articulated in a short single sentence, but make sure it's something that others will understand since they will be voting based on your description.

If you register and then find that you can't make it, please remove yourself from the registration list ASAP so we can give your space to the next person on the waiting list. It would also be helpful to email either Meredith Farkas (mgfarkas at gmail dot com) or Michelle Boule (mboule at gmail dot com) and give us a head's up that you've un-registered.

To register, you will need to enter your name, affiliation, email address, topic suggestion and whether you want to facilitate a discussion on the topic or present on it (you must choose either "discuss" or "present"). Here are some examples:

  1. Meredith Farkas - Head of Instructional Initiatives, Norwich University - mgfarkas(at)gmail(dot)com - Meaningful information literacy assessment in academic libraries (present).
  2. Michelle Boule - Freelance Writer, Consultant and Trainer - mboule(at)gmail(dot)com - Options for 2.0 subject guides - wikis, social bookmarking, LibGuides, etc. (discuss).
