Hello APLA, This is the first call for papers for the 2009 WILU (Workshop on Instruction in Library Use) conference, which will be held May 25-27, 2009 at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. You are welcome to attend! The deadline for our call for papers is December 8, 2008. I also wanted to send out this message through APLA because in addition to the Call for Papers, we are also looking for the institution that will host WILU 2010. The WILU conference has a tradition of being held in a different region of Canada each year, and in 2010, if we observe tradition, the conference would be held in eastern Canada. Ideally, we would like to see proposals for hosting WILU 2010 by the end of August 2008. If you have any questions about the WILU conference, whether it is about attending the conference, submitting a presentation proposal or submitting a hosting proposal, you are welcome to contact anyone at the e-mail addresses or links provided in the Call for Papers below. You are also welcome to contact me personally. I look forward to seeing you in Montreal for WILU 2009! Sincerely, Cameron Hoffman Concordia University, Montreal Apologies for cross-posting / Nos excuses pour l'envoi multiple WILU 2009 38th Annual Workshop on Instruction in Library Use 38e Atelier annuel sur la formation documentaire Université Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada May 25-27, 2009 / 25-27 mai 2009 http://library.concordia.ca/wilu2009 Submission deadline: Monday, December 8, 2008 Date limite pour soumettre une proposition : le lundi 8 décembre 2008 ================ CALL FOR PAPERS Conference theme: Reflections We welcome papers that present variations on reflections, a word that signifies different aspects of our information literacy work and experience. Reflections can involve: * Research into learning theory * Investigation into instructional practices * Exploration of the learning behaviours of our students * Examination of our identity as teachers Our vision for the reflections of WILU 2009 is a spectrum of sessions that will inspire and engage the information literacy community. The idea of reflections connotes depth and thoughtful work, which we see presented through either theoretical or applied research. We envision sessions that will require the active participation of conference participants. The sessions of WILU 2009 will call on us to reconsider past practices and advance new ideas and approaches into the future. Proposals can be submitted for either 45-minute presentations or 7-minute "lightning strike" presentations.

Ce concept regroupe divers aspects de notre travail et de notre expérience quant à la formation documentaire. Les « réflexions » peuvent comprendre : * La recherche portant sur les théories d'apprentissage * Une investigation de nos pratiques d'enseignement * Une exploration des comportements d'apprentissage de nos étudiants * Un examen de notre identité en tant qu'enseignant L'objectif de nos réflexions à WILU 2009 est de présenter une gamme de sessions qui inspirerons et motiverons la communauté intéressée à la formation documentaire. Le thème « réflexions » sous-entend un processus de pensée profonde que nous prévoyons présenter par le biais de recherche théorique ou pratique. Nous envisageons des sessions qui nécessiteront la participation active des délégués. Les sessions de WILU 2009 nous demanderons de repenser nos pratiques antérieures tout en mettant de l'avant de nouvelles idées et des approches novatrices pour l'avenir. Des propositions peuvent être soumises pour des présentations de 45 minutes ou des présentations « éclair » de 7 minutes.
