Call for panelists for the ACRL IS Current Issues
Virtual Discussion Forum,
2019 ALA Annual Meeting
The IS Current Issues Virtual Discussion Forum is
an excellent opportunity for instruction librarians to
explore and discuss current topics related to library
instruction and information literacy. The steering
committee welcomes proposals from individuals
interested in participating in a panel discussion on
alternatives to deficit models in academic
libraries. Deficit models of education focus on a
learner’s weaknesses, including the knowledge,
motivation, experiences, or cultural values that they
presumably lack. This panel will question the use of
deficit models in library instruction and information
literacy, and present alternative approaches.
This virtual discussion will take place in advance of
the 2019 ALA Annual Meeting: Tuesday, June 11 at
2 PM EST/11 AM PST. No previous experience with
virtual presentations is necessary. The committee
will work with selected panelists in advance to
prepare for the online environment.
If you would like to share your knowledge and work
on alternatives to deficit models in academic
libraries, submit a proposal to be a panelist for the
IS Current Issues Virtual Discussion Forum today!
Application Deadline: March 10, 2019
To submit a proposal, please use the online
submission form
Applicants will be notified by March 31, 2019

Committee Chair, Lauern Hays (ldhays@mnu.edu ) or
Vice-Chair, Melissa Harden ( mharden@nd.edu ).
