The Atlanta Area Bibliographic Instruction Group (AABIG or BIG) began in the early 1980s as an informal way for instruction librarians from academic, K-12, public, and special libraries in the greater Atlanta area to share ideas and discuss common issues about bibliographic instruction.  We hold an annual conference to discuss best practices in teaching information literacy.

2017 Conference:
​ What's the Next BIG Thing?

Event Date and Time:
June 16th, 2017
9am-3pm
Theme:  
This year’s theme is What’s the Next BIG Thing? This theme was chosen to be broad enough to be interpreted in many ways. For example, we encourage librarians to present on innovations in library instruction and/or student learning assessment, emerging instructional technologies, trends in professional development for instruction librarians, or predictions on the future of teaching in academic and public libraries. Other presentation ideas are welcome!

 All librarians, library staff, library students, and teachers are welcome to attend this free event!

Location:
West Georgia Technical College
​Registration in the Lobby of Building A

Call for nominations is now open.  Closes July 13.
