CNI Spring 2021
Virtual Membership Meeting
March 15-26, 2021
#cni21s
The proposal submission deadline has passed; thank you for your interest.
Project briefings are the heart of every membership meeting. Project briefings address state-of-the-art developments and issues of interest to the membership, as outlined in CNI’s Program Plan. Attendees include senior IT and library administrators, publishing executives, government officials, and others with a high level of interest in and understanding of digital information issues.
- Anyone may propose a project briefing, including groups/individuals from non-member institutions and organizations.
- Project briefings are 30-minute to one-hour sessions that focus on a discussion of a timely topic, or on a specific institutional/organizational project related to digital information; they can also explore parallel developments across institutions.
- For the spring 2021 virtual meeting, we are only scheduling a very small number of live (synchronous) project briefings; we expect the great majority of project briefings will be pre-recorded. While we don’t have a set time limit for the pre-recorded briefings, we suggest keeping them to 30 minutes or less.
- Live (synchronous) project briefings will take place March 15-16, 1:00-5:00 pm EDT and March 17-19, 4:00-5:00 pm EDT.
- March 22-23 meeting days are unscheduled to allow time for members to explore pre-recorded project briefings.
- A limited number of project briefings will be accepted. Applicants will be notified whether or not their proposal has been selected.
- All presenters will be invited to attend the full meeting.
- While participation in live webinars will be restricted to pre-registered membership meeting participants, our expectation is that sessions will be recorded and posted publicly unless presenters request that they not be.
