Dear all *Entrepreneurship and Libraries Conference (Entrelib) 2022 http://entrelib.org/international-2022/* *will be free, fully virtual and be international in scope! This iteration of the Entrelib conference will explore **approaches libraries have undertaken to support social entrepreneurship. What can we learn from libraries’ engagement with social entrepreneurship from elsewhere? *Social entrepreneurship is a globally relevant issue that is not centered in the global north and/or western view of capitalism, lending itself to an international conference. This, along with social entrepreneurship as a significant way to bring about economic justice, is of particular interest to younger generations, who are our libraries’ (and world’s) future leaders and changemakers*. *Due to the diverse nature of social entrepreneurship, the conference committee is open to all perspectives on this topic. Happening *virtually* Nov. 1st & 2nd, 2022, Entrelib is open to the academic, public, and special library community, as well as entrepreneurial ecosystem partners. *Our international planning team, consisting of members from 8 different countries, invites proposals on the conference themes and session formats below. *Priority will be given to submissions that are of interest and value to multiple types of information professionals (public, special, academic, etc.). - Libraries supporting social entrepreneurship that contribute to UN Sustainability Goals https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/ (actions to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity, etc.) - Libraries supporting globally-focused initiatives and projects - Libraries partnering with and contributing to diverse social entrepreneurship ecosystems - Exploring information about international markets within social entrepreneurship - Community specific social entrepreneurship: small-scale initiatives that serve the needs of specific geographies but addresses global challenges - Critical analysis of social entrepreneurship in libraries The planning team is accepting proposals for the following session formats: - Workshops (30 minutes) - Lighting Talks (7 minutes) *To read the full call for proposals, submit a proposal, and learn more about the conference, please visit **https://entrelib.org/ https://entrelib.org/international-2022/elc-international-call-for-proposals...* *.* Proposal submission deadline: August 31st, 2022 Successful proposals will be notified by early October 2022. *If you have any questions, *please contact the EntreLib Programming committee co-chairs Céline Gareau-Brennan (celine.gareau-brennan@ualberta.ca) or Mariah McGregor (mariah.mcgregor@northwestern.edu).
