Schedule
CNI issues a call for asynchronous project briefing proposals approximately quarterly and select a maximum of 12 for release. Calls for proposals will be posted to CNI-ANNOUNCE and social media.
Proposal Submission
We are no longer accepting submissions for October’s edition. The call for proposals for February’s edition will be released in October on CNI-ANNOUNCE, social media, and the website.
WHO: Anyone may propose a pre-recorded project briefing, including groups/individuals from non-member institutions and organizations.
TOPICS & LENGTH: Pre-recorded project briefing videos should focus on a timely topic or on a specific project related to digital information. We especially invite briefings on recently published reports, and updates on new or ongoing projects, programs, or organizations that may have reported at CNI in the past. In general, we recommend that these videos run no more than 15-20 minutes in length, though longer presentations may occasionally make sense; we leave this decision to the discretion of presenters.
