CALM call for panelists at SAA 2017

CALM seeks participants from across LAMs who will contribute to a discussion about how well we are doing (or not doing) on the various fronts of employment, continuing education, collection development, descriptive practices, etc. We seek participants with different perspectives - from those new to the profession to experienced professionals and anyone in between. This panel will address what we are doing well and what we can do better in order for LAMs to become more inclusive environments. Discussion questions will be distributed to panelists prior to the meeting.   

If you are interested in participating, please contact Lynette Stoudt by Friday, February 10th.

Balancing Panels and Papers

That sounds like an exciting opportunity for anyone passionate about contributing to the CALM panel at SAA 2017. Conferences like these not only allow for the sharing of expertise but also inspire fresh perspectives from diverse voices. It’s interesting how preparing for such panels can feel a lot like crafting a strong academic paper—both require careful research, clear argumentation, and an engaging delivery. The process reminds me of how some people approach their writing deadlines; whether it’s a conference abstract or a detailed paper, the pressure can be similar. In fact, I’ve seen discussions where participants talk about how they balance these tasks with other commitments, sometimes even saying, “I wish someone could write essay for me so I could focus on my presentation.” That’s where platforms like MyAssignmentHelp step in, offering expert assistance so scholars can excel in both arenas without compromising quality.
