Presentations on innovative practices, projects, and research activities will be delivered. Presentations originate from a variety of library, archive, or information services activity, and encompass many different aspects of Library and Information Professional work. The program will host a diverse set of presentations and foster unexpected connections across the spectrum of the information professions.

Format of Presentations:
The Symposium will include primarily two types of sessions: briefings, and posters.

Briefings will be 15-minute descriptions of an innovative practice, project, or research activity. There will be morning and afternoon briefing sessions.

Posters will be exhibits describing a practice, project, or research activity. Posters will be viewable throughout the day, and there will be a poster session during which  presenters will discuss their work with attendees.
