Appel à propositions pour les bibliothécaires
Le thème de la rencontre sera le mouvement maker et l'engagement communautaire en sciences et génie. Cette activité annuelle réunit des bibliothécaires et des chercheurs en STIM pour trois jours de conférences scientifiques et d'activités sociales passionnantes, et offre aux bibliothécaires l'occasion d'en apprendre davantage sur la science et le processus de recherche, de discuter des meilleures pratiques et de partager leurs idées et leurs expériences.
Comme l’an dernier, nous désirons inclure dans la programmation de l’évènement le travail novateur des bibliothécaires impliqués dans le soutien des activités de recherche en sciences et en génie. Nous vous invitons donc à soumettre une proposition de communication pour une présentation sur vos travaux ou vos recherches en lien avec la bibliothéconomie scientifique. Les présentations doivent être brèves, approximativement 20 minutes, et seront suivies d’une période de questions. À noter que les présentations des bibliothécaires ne sont pas tenues de se conformer au thème de la rencontre.
Le True North Science Boot Camp est une petite organisation qui dispose de ressources modestes. Nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre les coûts associés à la traduction simultanée si nous voulons maintenir le prix du Boot Camp à un niveau raisonnable. Toutes les présentations seront en anglais. Nous nous excusons pour cet inconvénient.
Date limite pour les soumissions: le lundi 4 février 2019, 17h00.

"I was surprised Notre Dame (2016) had a glass blowing lab. It was a really cool space and Kiva Ford (the glassblower) has some great videos about his work online. Something totally unexpected!"
-Danny Dotson, OSU (organizer)
"Boot camp is unique in its combination of excellent presentations from scientists and librarians alike, in a campus setting with plenty of time for collegial conversation and engaging with researchers in lab and field tours. The focus on timely, important research in the Great Lakes region makes it especially relevant. Each boot camp (this will be my fifth!) has been highly rewarding - fascinating content and fun experiences. I always return to my library with renewed enthusiasm, a lot more knowledge, and ideas for improving our services and collections."
-Alison Ricker, Oberlin College
