> This conference is an opportunity to explore the different ways in which

> understand and value the labor that goes into providing library services
> and maintaining library collections? How does your institution value and
> engage all the workers in your library, including student workers? How do
> you work during a time of social and political anxiety that has direct
> ramifications for library workers and library patrons?  What does it mean
> to ensure that your libraries are more equitable places in a time of “DEI
> work”? What strategies do you use to manage your workload and protect your
> personal and professional boundaries? What work are you proud of and why?
>
>
> This conference welcomes proposals that incorporate this theme through
> case studies and other forms, particularly proposals that are rooted in
> practical, daily workplace experiences.
>
>
> The Conference is accepting both in person sessions and pre-recorded,
> asynchronous sessions. Sessions can take the form of:
>
>
>    - Lightning talks (10 minutes)
>    - Workshops (90 minutes)
>    - Unconferences (1-3 hours)
>    - Presentations (45 minutes)

> A note about location. Historically, in the years when the ALD/ACRL-WA and
> ACRL-OR Joint Fall Conference was held in Washington it has been held at
> Pack Forest, near Eatonville, WA. Based on feedback from previous years,
> and the impact of the pandemic, the division has decided to move the
> conference to Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA. We are excited for
> this new chapter in the Conference’s history, and hope you are as well.
