NEW! Call for Proposals: Presentations and Panels

The OLAC 2024 Conference Program Planning Subcommittee is seeking proposals for presentations and panel sessions on topics related to descriptive or subject cataloging of media. Topics need not be 100% media cataloging. We want to hear all of your creative ideas!

Presenters may present in person or virtually. We are soliciting proposals for:

  1. Presentations: Single-topic presentations for a full session up to 90 min. in length, or a half session of 45 min. 
  2. Panel Sessions: Thematic topics with a host and 2-3 people with short presentations followed by dialogue and Q&A, for a session up to 90 min. in length.

Submit your ideas by Friday April 26, 2024 using the proposal submission form. A separate call for Poster presentations and Lightning talks will be sent in May.
