Library History Seminar Planning Committee -- call for volunteers

  • 1.  Library History Seminar Planning Committee -- call for volunteers

    Posted Sep 11, 2023 09:36 AM

    Dear colleagues:

    You may recall that LHRT sponsors a quinquennial (every 5 years) Library History Seminar.  Our next seminar is scheduled for 2026, and will be an online conference.

    We are looking for interested members to form a planning committee.   The committee will choose a theme for the seminar, secure an institutional host for our online activities,  issue calls for papers, and organize the schedule.  We have extensive documentation from the organizers of the 2021 online seminar, so organizing the upcoming version should be much easier.

    If you're interested, please contact me at steven.knowlton@princeton.edu.

    Best,

    Steve Knowlton
