Are you an academic librarian with liaison responsibilities in business, 
finance, or entrepreneurship? In the Southern US? If so, the Southern 
University and College Academic Business Librarians Conference (SOUCABL) is for 
you! SOUCABL is a great opportunity to meet other information professionals, 
develop your regional network of colleagues, share ideas, and brainstorm 
solutions.


Participants are invited from the District of Columbia and 14 states, including 
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, 
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West 
Virginia.


The Program Committee is now accepting proposals on topics related to business 
librarianship in a variety of presentation formats. We especially encourage 
proposal submissions from librarians who work at smaller institutions in the 
South or for whom providing public and technical services for business, 
finance, or entrepreneurship education and programming is only part of their 
job.


Topics


This year's theme is "What's next?" SOUCABL: Chapters 1 and 2 focused on 
successes and failures during "the before time." Chapter 3 is all about working 
under less than ideal circumstances in unprecedented times. What have you tried 
this past year? What's planned for the future? As academic business librarians, 
where do we go from here?


Suggested topics may include, but are not limited to:


  *   Online instruction & emergency remote teaching strategies
  *   Outreach (to students, faculty, campus partners, community members, etc.) 
and partnerships during a global pandemic
  *   Balancing your business, finance, and entrepreneurship responsibilities 
with others, especial those related to campus and library safety policy and 
procedure
  *   Research strategies & resources for working from home
  *   Shifting collection development and budgets for both physical & 
electronic resources
  *   Recent changes that have affected any or all the above aspects of 
librarianship


Formats


Select a format for your proposal.


  *   Presentation (plenary): 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
  *   Poster (concurrent): An opportunity to share your recent, "unprecedented" 
experiences and/or future aspirations related to business librarianship. If you 
would like a template, consider using the ones found here: https://osf.io/ef53g.
