What library technology topic are you passionate about? Have something to teach?
The Library Information Technology Association (LITA) Education Committee invites you to share your expertise with a national audience! For years, LITA has offered online learning programs on technology-related topics of interest to LITA Members and wider American Library Association audience. Submit a proposal by April 21st, 2017 to teach a webinar, webinar series, or online course for Summer/Fall 2017.
We seek and encourage submissions from underrepresented groups, such as women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and people with disabilities.
All topics related to the intersection of technology and libraries are welcomed. Possible topics include:
- Privacy
- Analytics
- Data librarianship
- Technology Spaces
- Visualization
- Augmented and Virtual Reality
- Ethics and access
- Project management
- Data-driven decision-making
Instructors receive a $500 honorarium for an online course or $150 for webinars, split among instructors. For more information, access the online submission form. Check out our list of current and past course offerings to see what topics have been covered recently.
Proposals will be evaluated by the LITA Education Committee and will be assigned a committee liaison. That person is responsible for contacting you no later than 30 days after your submission to provide feedback.
Please email lita@ala.org with any questions. We’re looking forward to a slate of compelling and useful online education programs this year!
