Proposals for Prepared Talks:


We encourage everyone to propose a talk.


Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should focus 
on one or more of the following areas:


  -   Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of 
existing technologies and/or development of new software

  -   Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools, 
standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)

  -   Technical issues - Big issues in library technology that should be 
addressed or better understood

  -   Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib 
community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, 
diversity, organizational challenges, etc.


To Propose a Talk, please fill out the following form:

like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot 
at the conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the 
program in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters.  
Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions.


Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will be

conference registration fee will still apply. Proposals can be submitted 
through Monday, November 9, 2015 at midnight PST (GMT−8). Voting will start on
