Call for Panelists ACRL NMDG: “Gender in/and/of Academic Libraries” Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 10:30am - 11:30am Room Location TBA What is the role of gender in determining the future of academic libraries? In what way does gender pave (or hinder) the way toward innovation, leadership, reflection, growth, and action? As an academic librarian, what are your concerns about gender (and gendered) discourse in the context of your daily work? ACRL’s New Members Discussion Group is seeking panelists for our upcoming moderated conversation at ALA Annual 2013, which will discuss the intersection of gender and academic libraries. Topics for discussion could include: how gender affects library leadership; the relationship between gender and technological skills; personal experiences of gender-related issues on the job; the importance of gender diversity in library innovation, etc. Be creative! The dynamics of the discussion will be driven by the unique experiences of the panelists.
