Entrepreneursim in Libraries

June 11, 2008 by Jon Frater Leave a Comment

This looks extremely interesting, from the ERIL-L listserv:

To all Librarians, Entrepreneurs, and
Innovators:

We seek pioneers, adventurers and inventors to tell
their stories.  The libraries of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
and Wake Forest University are organizing a conference entitled,
"Inspiration, Innovation,
 and Celebration: an Entrepreneurial Conference for
Librarians"
.  We strive to provide a forum for you to share your path to
change.


Conference
dates: June 3rd and 4th, 2009 in the Elliott University Center on the campus of
the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

The mission for this conference is threefold:
1)
To share and celebrate entrepreneurial accomplishments in libraries
2) To
inspire each other to innovate in our libraries
3) To create a community of
interested librarians who will perpetuate the discussion beyond the
conference

Entrepreneurial activity may have taken place in areas such
as: instruction, services, processes, facilities or resources, but this list is
not exhaustive.  We’re interested in hearing about your process and the
successful presentation could include the following:

·  Identification of an
unmet need or development of an innovative approach that extends the scope of
service
 

·  A non-traditional
approach to fulfilling our mission as libraries

·  A description of how a
solution was designed and implemented including any obstacles that were
encountered (financial, structural, human…)

·  A discussion of lessons
learned or what you would do differently next time and the project’s current
status 
 

·  A description of the keys
to success
 

·  A tone that inspires us
all to become more entrepreneurial in our libraries, however small the
project


Format:

·  Sessions should be one
hour in length to include 45 minute presentation with 15 minutes for
Q&A.
 

·  We will accept panel
discussions


Timing:

·  If interested, submit a
letter of intent – a one paragraph description of your presentation –
immediately.  Those who submit a letter of intent by September 1st will receive
priority consideration.
 

·  Please submit your final
proposal by 5:00 pm on Monday 1 November 2008; it should include a detailed
outline of the presentation with a textual description of the entrepreneurial
project.
 

·  Photos, drawings or other
multi-media aids are welcome; display space will be available at the conference.
 

·  Invitations to present
will be delivered by mid-December

·  Send your submission
