The EQS (Enhancing Quality Staff) committee is seeking presenters for 45 minute conference presentations at the 27th EQS Symposium on May 18, 2023. If you'd like to read about past sessions, visit our website.

The University of Minnesota Libraries' Enhancing Quality Staff symposium provides a forum for library paraprofessional and support staff to learn about a range of timely professional topics, share ideas and experiences with peers, enhance skills with continuing education, and work toward personal wellbeing. 

We welcome attendees from all types of libraries. EQS typically welcomes around 150-170 individuals. Attendees choose from among more than 20 sessions throughout the day. Sessions are usually one hour in length, but we also have a limited number of two-hour sessions.

When submitting a presentation, please consider planning around the ideas geared towards the paraprofessional and support staff.

All presentations will be approximately 40-45 minutes with a brief Q & A at the end. This conference will be in-person, therefore sessions will not be recorded. Session proposals are due by March 30, 2023.  You will be notified as soon as your proposal is reviewed.

This is a great opportunity to present your research or another topic you are engaging in, and add to your CV!

So, what do you want to present? Let us know z.umn.edu/EQSPresentationsubmission!
