ALL THE DETAILS

Learning, Relearning, and Unlearning in Academic Libraries is an online conference built around the idea that growth in this profession looks as much like releasing old assumptions as it does acquiring new skills. Building on the conversations started at Sustaining the Future of Academic Libraries, this conference invites proposals from academic library workers about what you've learned, what you've had to rethink, and what you've deliberately left behind—and what all of it means for how we serve our students, faculty, and institutions. Come ready to reflect, share, and be inspired by what you hear from your peers.

ON-DEMAND ACCESS

All live guest speaker sessions are recorded and available on demand for six months following the initial broadcast as part of your purchase.
