The Business Reference in Academic Libraries Committee of BRASS seeks proposals for engaging presentations to be part of an online symposium via Zoom on December 9, 2020. Proposals are due by November 23, 2020 by 5pm EST.
Proposals may be submitted by anyone, but priority consideration will be given to proposals from BRASS members. Proposals should describe a 45-minute session (30 minutes for presentation with 15 minutes for facilitated discussion and/or question-and-answer) that relates to the broad heading of academic librarianship in the COVID-19 era. Suggested topics include:
-Zoom teaching

-COVID contingencies (staffing, collection development, budget constraints, etc.)
-Planning for Spring 2021
-Data literacy and/or data visualization
-Remote outreach/Building liaison relationships and instruction programs with difficult-to-reach departments
