You are hereby invited to submit Proposals for Papers and Workshops for Colouring Outside the Lines: The 40th Annual Conference of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) to be held March 29-April 2, 2012 at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, Canada.
As a metaphor for creative thinking, “colouring outside the lines” suggests openness to change, willingness to risk, confidence to lead, and courage to reaffirm values and traditions. As a programmatic framework, it enables a focus on professional excellence from diverse viewpoints, sharing knowledge, celebrating innovation, exploring alternate formats, and promoting collaboration. It provides opportunities to showcase creative thinkers from community-based arts organizations in one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
Information on the conference programming process can be found on the Toronto 2012 Conference website along with links to the Call for Papers and Call for Workshops.
Paper and Workshop Proposals are due on May 15, 2011.
Call for Poster Sessions, Moderators, and Meetings will go out in Sept and Oct after we have the core Program established.
