MiALA Annual Conference 2023: Call for Posters Riding the Waves: Finding Balance in an Age of Uncertainty The Michigan Academic Library Association invites you and your colleagues to submit poster proposals for the 8th annual conference to be held May 17-19, 2023, at Hope College in Holland, MI. Please consider sharing your innovations, creative endeavors, and practical solutions for navigating today’s uncertain times and finding our own inner stability while providing balanced, reliable and diverse resources and services to our students and faculty. We welcome posters in any topic related to work in academic libraries, and particularly if they have a connection to the conference theme. Broad participation is encouraged from librarians, library support staff, LIS students, and administrators from all types of academic libraries (including but not limited to public universities, private colleges, and community colleges). Poster proposals should include a description of no more than 300 words. They will be evaluated on relevance to the academic library profession, originality and creativity, and clarity/applicability of content and outcomes. MiALA membership is not required to submit a proposal. Regardless of the decision on a proposal, MiALA encourages you to attend the conference. Poster session proposals may also be submitted if your presentation proposal is not accepted. Please submit your poster proposal using the online form here <https://forms.gle/3z9LiDQPy3mRmkFP7> by January 23, 2023.
