Our Mission: QuasiCon 2019 brings information professionals and students together to discuss what libraries and archives can do for you! We aim to promote a safe space for building conference skills, facilitating networking, and sharing experiences and ideas in an interactive format.
This year's theme is Outreach & Engagement. Some suggested areas of interest within this theme include bringing people into the information landscape, assessing user engagement and outreach efforts, event planning, use of gamification for engagement, helping patrons build meaningful relationships with materials, awareness of services and resources, creating diverse, inclusive environments and programming, creating and maintaining culturally sensitive metadata standards, and much more!
We do not require that your proposal relates to the theme. If you have something that you think is interesting and it relates to libraries or archives then please submit a proposal!
We welcome presentation proposals from all areas of study at UMSI, as well as students at other institutions.
QuasiCon has several traditional conference presentation formats but we are also looking for innovative and original demonstrations of non-traditional library/archives methods and tools. Examples include demonstrations of makerspace activities, non-traditional collections and hands-on technology exhibits.
Presenters are allowed (and encouraged!) to present more than once during the conference.
