In addition to this year’s in-person conference, we are excited to also announce a free, virtual, pre-conference creativity panel and lightning talk session, on Monday, October 28 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. via Zoom. Please use this form to register for the virtual pre-conference webinar.

In the 1:00 hour we will be joined by five librarians in a Creativity Panel who will share ways they have pursued creativity with video creation, makerspaces, gamification, emerging technology, and exhibits.

During the 2:00 hour three librarians will share Lightning Talks about their creative efforts in the areas of monitoring library traffic during the pandemic, open access research, and new ways of connecting with first generation students. 

We look forward to you joining us for these inspiring and creative professional development opportunities this Fall!
