AMICAL 2015

The American University in Bulgaria, 27–30 May

Clearing thresholds: information literacy & faculty–librarian–technologist collaboration

This year’s AMICAL Conference will give special focus to information literacy, and in particular to new conceptual frameworks for information literacy in the context of international American universities.

The program will also cover a broad range of other topics related to libraries, technology and learning, with sessions ranging from conceptual talks to hands-on workshops to unconference sessions created during the event.

The American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) will be hosting this year’s conference at their Skaptopara Campus in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria.
