*Conference Themes and Focus*

New librarians are positioning themselves as library leaders in academia,
libraries, and professional associations. This event aims to address key
themes and leading trends to provide library services while changing
attitudes and expectations on the way. The conference organising committee
wishes to showcase examples of best practice in how to develop new leaders,
services, and inclusion of new professionals in decision-making processes
through both research based scholarly presentations and experiential and
practical stories of successes and lessons learned. The organisers are
particularly interested in receiving proposals for presentations on any of
the following, or related, key themes and issues :

   - How to internationalize careers
   - New librarian paradigm
   - Mobile librarian
   - Real-time librarian
   - Advocating for library associations to include new professionals in
   their agenda

We welcome and encourage proposals from first-time conference presenters,
librarians, library school students, and information workers new to the
profession.
