Think creatively about how your work connects to this year’s conference
theme, “Libraries Act, Respond, Transform: The A.R.T. of Empowerment.”
Explore how academic libraries and librarians provide resources and
initiate programs, partnerships, and policies that empower patrons, staff,
and stakeholders while advancing equity and social justice. Remember, small
actions in any area of the library can lead to big transformations.
