The Association of College & Research Libraries New England Chapter (ACRL-NEC) and the New England Library Instruction Group (NELIG) will hold a joint conference virtually on Thursday, June 11, and in person at Holy Cross College (Worcester, MA) on Monday, June 15.
We welcome proposals that acknowledge … While creativity and inspiration abound, people are also contending with and navigating unprecedented turmoil at a rate and pace that literally leaves one breathless. While the demands soar and the resources often plummet, there is still cause to pause, and to exhale.
Academic librarians and library professionals make a lasting impact on their institutions and communities. As library professionals poised to adapt, we proceed as keepers of the most democratic thing in the world: intellectual freedom. We invite session proposals that reflect the resilience, creativity, and forward-thinking allowing libraries to thrive.
The deadline for proposals is Friday, April 17, at 10:59 PM CDT. Submit your proposal here.
