We’re excited to do things a bit differently this year for the Digital Library Federation (DLF) Forum. We’re hosting an in-person event at Michigan State University in East Lansing this July (the call for proposals is closed; the program will come soon), and a virtual event from Tuesday, October 22, to Wednesday, October 23. We’re pumped to announce we have opened the call for proposals for the virtual DLF Forum.
We encourage proposals from members and non-members; regulars and newcomers; digital library practitioners from all sectors (higher education, museums and cultural heritage, public libraries, archives, etc.) and those in adjacent fields such as institutional research and educational technology; and students, early- and mid-career professionals and senior staff alike. We especially welcome proposals from individuals who bring diverse professional and life experiences to the conference, including those from underrepresented or historically excluded racial, ethnic, or religious backgrounds, immigrants, veterans, those with disabilities, and people of all sexual orientations or gender identities.
The submissions deadline is Wednesday, May 15, at 10:59 PM CDT. For more information, and to submit a proposal, please go here.
Curious about submitting, but not sure where to start? Join our next CFP Office Hours on Tuesday, April 30, at 12:00 PM CDT, to learn more about the virtual event and submission types. Register for the Office Hours here.
For any questions, please feel free to reach out to the event organizers, at forum@diglib.org.
