ARLIS/NA 43rd Annual Conference

The Conference Committee, in partnership with the ARLIS/NA Professional Development Committee, is pleased to offer a new session that combines the best of two worlds — the informal and highly visual nature of a traditional poster session with the hands-on component of a technology forum.

Poster 2.0 will feature over 30 participants showcasing a wide-range of professional and research projects in a creative and interactive environment. Topics include productivity tools, promotion of special collections and archives, outreach and instructional initiatives, libraries as exhibition spaces, digital humanities, best practices for collecting and cataloging unique materials, and more. Learn from colleagues presenting innovative projects, topics, and tools as you walk through this joint session.
