The 16th annual Northwest Interlibrary Loan and Resource Sharing Conference will take place from August 10 to 11, at Portland State University in downtown Portland, Oregon. Look for registration to open in April.
Join John Chrastka, founder and Executive Director of EveryLibrary, the first nationwide political action committee for libraries, for our keynote. Interlibrary loan and resource sharing are the foundation for modern library services, taking individual libraries in a network “to scale”. The public is interested in the story about how you improve their libraries. Learn how to share your story about the impact and relevance of your work with funders, voters, and the communities you serve.
