Hi all -- Apologies for cross-posting. This year’s Digital Library Federation Forum <https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/> in Milwaukee, WI will again include a one-day preconference specifically for liberal arts colleges, to be held on November 6. The DLF Liberal Arts College Preconference <https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/dlflac> is created for those who work with digital libraries and/or digital scholarship at liberal arts colleges. The event is designed to foster conversation and build community, both formally and informally. Participants do not need to be members of DLF to attend. We invite you to shape the preconference by nominating a keynote speaker or submitting a proposal. Call for Keynote Speaker The planning committee is looking to the community to help nominate a keynote speaker or speakers. The opening session will set the tone of the preconference, and the planning committee particularly welcomes suggestions for a speaker (or speakers!) who can explore the intersectionality of digital library praxis and a liberal arts education. Please send us your ideas via the following web form <https://goo.gl/dExX7i>. Call for Proposals We invite proposals for panels, presentations, hands-on workshops, make-hack-play sessions, and dork shorts that foster conversation, connections, and provocation at the intersection of digital libraries and the liberal arts. View the full-length CFP at < www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/dlflac/cfp>. Proposals are due by May 15 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. Not Able to Attend In Person? On November 6, join the conversation by chiming in using the #dlfLAC <https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23dlfLAC&src=tyah> Twitter hashtag. After the preconference, we hope to make recording of keynote speakers, panels, and presentations available for the community.
