The NWILL Planning Committee is excited to open the call for proposals for the 2024 Northwest Interlibrary Loan & Resource Sharing Conference. The hybrid conference will be held September 18-20, 2024 in person at the University of Oregon in Eugene, and virtually on the Whova conference platform.
Presenters are invited to share their knowledge and experiences through a real-time 45 minute session, a short pre-recorded lightning session, a real-time 60 minute panel discussion, or an in-person poster session.
We welcome submissions from library professionals and paraprofessionals working in all types of libraries. Topics can be directly related or adjacent to interlibrary loan and library resource sharing. Preference may be given to presenters who will attend the conference in person.
Our past conference survey results suggest that the resources sharing community is interested in learning more about these topics:
- Budget Challenges and Logistics - Censorship
- Controlled Digital Lending - Copyright and CONTU Alternatives
- Serving Underserved Populations - Ebook ILL
- Patron Outreach/Education - Statistics & Reporting
- Training & Position Documentation - Resource Sharing in Public Libraries
Conference registration fees will be waived for presenters and co-presenters.
The deadline to submit proposals is midnight Pacific time on Monday, March 25, 2024.
For-profit organizations and companies can share information about their products and services by sponsoring the conference. Please contact us to get more information about our sponsorship opportunities.
Please email the NWILL Planning Committee at nwillconf@gmail.com with any questions.
We hope you will join us for the Northwest Interlibrary Loan and Resource Sharing Conference this fall.
