Colleagues, I’m forwarding an announcement / call for proposals from a colleague at NCLR about their 2016 Workforce Development Forum. The deadline for workshop proposals is TODAY (!). Apologies for the late notice, I just received the note below yesterday. But even assuming it is too late to pull together a workshop proposal, I figured many of you may find the conference itself of interest.
