Scheduled for its sixth year on September 25 and 26 at the Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah, the conference is run by a consortium of sponsors, including the campus's Zach S. Henderson Library, the writing and linguistics department, the education college, and the University itself.

The Call for Proposals deadline is Wednesday, April 15. Each submission topic should be a workshop or presentation that will consider, extend, or otherwise address information literacy in elementary, middle or high school and postsecondary settings.

"I was pleased to find my presentation room filled with participants representing higher education, public and private schools and libraries, and public libraries," blogged 2008 conference presenter Ru Story-Huffman on http://www.big6.com.
