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.

Conference Funding

AABIG convenes for a one day conference each year for instructional librarians.  This conference of blind jury-selected panels, lectures, and interactive sessions gives librarians from all types of libraries (public, academic, special and school media) a valuable learning and professional development opportunity.

AABIG is most appreciative of any and all financial gifts.  We are proud to offer free registration to all librarians, so that those who need it most, but can afford it least, have the same opportunities to learn, present, and network. Please help us keep the AABIG conference affordable for everyone. For more information about donating, please visit the Funding for Conferences page.
