Because OSLIS is an information literacy website and because this conference will have a strand that focuses on building information literacy skills in students, I am posting this information to OSLIST.

The planning committee for the 2015 OASL Fall Conference is hard at work putting together a conference that will benefit a broad spectrum of attendees. That means we need great sessions, so we are calling on you for ideas and proposals.

Conference Location and Dates: Coos Bay/North Bend, October 9th and 10th

Our Theme: 2020 Vision

With an emphasis on the following:

• The four strands of the Oregon School Library Standards in action:
• Information literacy
• Reading engagement
• Social responsibility
• Technology integration
• Ideas for small and rural school libraries
• Forward-thinking lessons, programs, and collaborations that demonstrate the value of strong school library programs in helping meet school and district goals

Fill out this form (http://bit.ly/2015-Session-Proposals) by April 22nd if you…

1. Want to present at the fall conference

As a committee, we are eager to offer new and exciting sessions and to bring back some favorites!

Thanks,
