who may not have worked on active or semi-active records on an organizational scale. However, RIM principles are increasingly useful in a world where early intervention in records creation and management can make all the difference in creating usable collections—or
potentially any at all. This course will introduce learners to the principles of records management and give them the tools they need to develop and implement effective records management policies at their own libraries.</span></p>

This year's keynote speaker, Kyle Lukoff, is the author of several books for young readers. His debut middle-grade novel, Too Bright To See, received a Newbery honor, the Stonewall award, and was a National Book Award finalist. His picture book When Aidan Became
A Brother also won the Stonewall, and his book Call Me Max has been banned in schools across the country. He is the recipient of the 2025 Children’s Literature Lecture award and has forthcoming books for all ages on a variety of topics. While becoming a writer
he worked as a bookseller for ten years, and then nine more years as a school librarian.</div>
