Materials on the Move: Strategies for Delivery, Distribution and Storage
Courier and delivery. Shared remote storage. Floating collections. Redesigned resource sharing. The delivery and distribution of library materials continues to evolve as libraries maximize service and efficiency for users. Finding scalable solutions for storage and sharing of physical library resources requires rethinking collection development, and reciprocal agreements, and long-term planning.

Amigos is now accepting presentation proposals for the September 8, 2022, online conference, "Materials on the Move: Strategies for Delivery, Distribution and Storage." This conference will explore changes and trends in delivery, courier services, distribution, and storage of library materials. If you are interested in sharing your knowledge and experiences, please submit your proposal today!

The call for proposals is open through July 15. Submit your proposal today!
