Theme: Innovations with Impact

Hashtag: #DesigningLibraries

Librarians, architects, technologists and educators discuss issues and challenges in designing libraries and learning spaces

Our conference theme, Innovations with Impact, focuses on emerging technologies for all aspects of modern library design: teaching and learning, research, cultural programming, along with building systems, materials and furniture. We will feature leading practitioners sharing their experiences and insights for both new and renovated library space.

An international panel of speakers will address topics including:

  • Implementing new technologies and spaces for active learning and contemporary research modes
  • Creating spaces for innovation and community engagement

We’ll also explore issues such as aligning the library organization with facility transformations, collaborating with other campus units, new staff roles, digital research platforms, and fostering experimentation while ensuring value for our institutions.
