Call for Participation

Jazz Mosaic—Faculty Recruitment in a New Key (ALISE Conference 2002) will be a highly interactive conference where educators, doctoral students, practitioners, and scholars in librarianship, the information sciences, and other disciplines will explore the timely topic of faculty recruitment. For example, programs will focus on

• Next generation faculty—Where and how will we recruit?
  
• Faculty diversity—How can we create a diverse workplace for faculty?
  
• Divergent foci—How do we serve core, specialist, and interdisciplinary interests?
  
• New leadership—Where will we get new deans, directors, and program chairs?

The content of the ALISE conference program develops from plenary programs designed by the Conference Planning Committee, from programs proposed by Special Interest Groups (SIGs), from research papers submitted for awards, and from juried papers. Your avenue to conference participation might be any of the following:

• Create a poster for the Doctoral Students SIG Research Poster Session (if you're a doctoral student) and propose it to the Doctoral Students SIG Convener, Sharon McQueen (UW-Madison). Due November 15, 2001.
