[ANPPOM-Lista] Last Days: New England Archivists Spring 2017 Meeting: Call for Proposals

[Carlos Palombini]

New England Archivists invites submissions of session proposals for the
Spring Meeting to be held March 22 - 25, 2017, in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
Deadline for proposals is November 1, 2016.

This year’s conference theme is Changing Tides, with a focus on
collaboration in a changed environment. Want to discuss the results of a
pilot study or program? Have you road-tested an assessment or practice that
breaks with tradition in some way? Has your institution collaborated with
“non-scholarly” users for a novel or even a disruptive (i.e., innovative)
project? We’d love to hear from you. We're also interested in session
proposals from first-time presenters and those new to the archives
profession.

The Spring 2017 Program Committee invites proposals on all topics but is
especially interested in the following:
· collaboration with new or unique user groups
· trained archivists working in "non-archivist" roles – Archivists who have
seen the profession grow and change – in what ways?
· Cape Cod history and culture
· cross-disciplinary projects
· projects or initiatives with direct, collaborative involvement from
archives users
· digital humanities
· digital curation and digital forensics

Potential Session Types

PechaKucha
Each presentation consists of 20 slides or images displayed for 20 seconds
each, with comment. Each presentation lasts 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
Highest number of presenters possible is 12, fewer if leaving time for
questions.

Lightning Talks
Like PechaKucha, but without following a set format. May or may not include
slides or images. Presentations may be from 3 to 10 minutes long. Number of
presenters possible depends on the time allotted for each.

Open Forum
Topical discussion with moderator leading discussion with everyone in
attendance. May include additional moderator(s) to direct breakout
conversations.

Roundtable Discussion
Three or four participants make very brief remarks then discuss a topic
together. Includes a moderator to steer discussion.

Poster Session
Posters about a project or process tied to the theme of the meeting where
the presenter wants to share information or encourage discussion of an
idea. Presentation and discussion can span from 10 to 30 minutes. Posters
displayed at designated times during the meeting.

Debate
Moderator announces the topic, and two other people debate.

Standard Presentations
Two or three speakers present on a common theme. May include a moderator to
steer discussion and/or introduce speakers and theme.

Mini-Workshops
Two or three facilitators offer a session-length, hands-on workshop that
gives archivists an opportunity to learn a specific skill. (Presenters must
work with the PC to coordinate any equipment needs beyond standard AV of
projectors and screens).

In order to facilitate collaboration, the Spring 2017 Program Committee has
created a space for NEA members to develop session proposals together at
the NEA Spring 2017 group forum.
