The Innovative Library Classroom 2016!

We are excited to announce the third annual meeting of The Innovative Library Classroom, a day-long conference dedicated to the exploration of innovative practices related to teaching and learning in libraries.  

The Innovative Library Classroom is supported by the Virginia Chapter of the Association of College & Research Libraries (VLACRL) and a number of Virginia institutions, including Radford University, Virginia Tech, and Hollins University. The conference will be held at the campus of Radford University in Radford, Virginia, on Thursday, May 12, 2016.

We are busily planning a conference experience full of new ideas, networking opportunities, and fun. Conference sessions and social opportunities will appeal to anyone involved in any aspect of library instruction, regardless of the size, type, or location of your institution--we welcome a diversity of perspectives and presenters! There will be a keynote speaker, 50-minute presentations, conversation sessions, lightning talks, and a networking/discussion lunch. 

We will be continuing our partnership with Internet Reference Services Quarterly in order to advance conference discussions beyond the conference. Selected papers based on conference presentations will be published, subject to double blind peer review, in a special issue dedicated to The Innovative Library Classroom in fall 2016. More information about IRSQ is available on the IRSQ website.  

Registration will be limited to 75 participants to facilitate opportunities to learn from and network with colleagues.  

The timeline for conference events is as follows:

  • November 20, 2015:  Proposal submission deadline 
  • January 5, 2016:  Presenters notified of proposal status
  • January 29, 2016:  Selected presenters must confirm presentations and register
  • March 14, 2016:  Registration opens
  • April 15, 2016:  Last day for refunds for registration fees

Questions?  Contact Candice Benjes-Small (cbsmall@radford.edu), Jennifer Whicker (jrwhicker@radford.edu), or Rebecca Seipp (seipprl@hollins.edu).

We're looking forward to seeing you in Radford on May 12, 2016!
