The second Conference on Academic Library Management (CALM)<https://www.conferenceonacademiclibrarymanagement.com>, taking place virtually the week of April 25, 2022, invites proposals for presentations that inform and inspire the practice and application of management in academic libraries. This conference is geared towards current middle managers, administrators, coordinators, and those who aspire to take on those roles. We will focus on person-centered management practices<https://www.ddslearning.com/person-centered-practices> that aim toward creating more just and inclusive workplaces.

We invite proposals for either 60-minute presentations or 10-minute pre-recorded lightning talks on all topics related to library management, encompassing tips and advice, practical application, research, and learning from failures, in any area, especially:
