The 2026 Great Lakes Science Boot Camp for Librarians will be held on-site from Wednesday, July 8, to Friday, July 10, in Bloomington, Indiana, and will be hosted by Indiana University Libraries. Campus housing will also be available July 7.
This immersive conference offers librarians an opportunity to learn about current research advancements in science. The Great Lakes Science Boot Camp will strive to cultivate an ongoing learning community of librarians providing research support for scientists. Details will be added to our website as they are determined.
Stay tuned for a call for lightning talks. The cost is still to be determined.

Virtual Day: Monday July 13, via Zoom
Based on feedback we received during last year’s fully-virtual Boot Camp, we will be hosting a virtual day of Great Lakes Science Boot Camp to connect and learn from colleagues who may or may not have been able to attend the in-person Boot Camp. There will be a mix of programming, including some lightning talks—stay tuned for the call for proposals.
Details will be added to our website as they are determined. Registration for the virtual day will be free.
This event is being co-hosted by the Academic Library Association of Ohio’s (ALAO) STEM Interest Group. Contact Kristen Adams, at adamsk3@miamioh.edu, and Nathanael Davis, at nathanaeldavis@cedarville.edu, if you have questions.
