We’re excited to announce the call for proposals for Acquisitions Institute at Timberline Lodge<\/strong> 2026<\/a>. This is our small, informal, and stimulating gathering in a convivial and glorious Pacific Northwest setting (one hour east of Portland, OR, on the slope of Mt. Hood)<\/strong>, focused on the methods and innovation of building and managing library collections. This 2026 meeting will take place from Sunday, May 17, to Wednesday, May 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is The Acquisitions Institute?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For what topics are we looking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The planning committee is seeking submissions on all aspects of library acquisitions and collection management. Presenters are encouraged to engage the audience in discussion, whether the presentation leans more toward the practical “here’s what we did” sessions or toward the more abstract “here’s what we think” sessions. The committee may also seek to achieve balance in the program by bringing individual proposals together to form panels, or by recommending that a proposal be converted to a table talk. We invite you to indicate whether or not you’d be interested in these opportunities on the submission proposal form (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Topics of potential interest (in no particular order):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
