The Library Technology Roadmap
|
|
|
|
What is the best way to assess and evaluate current technologies? How do libraries choose which new technologies to adopt? When is it time to sunset an existing technology?
Register today to join Amigos in exploring the complexities of planning and managing technology in libraries at the December 1st Amigos online conference, "The Library Technology Roadmap". Sessions of the day cover topics such as technology acquisition, removing library desk barriers, eLibrary platform migration, turning challenges into opportunities and many more. The conference will conclude with a closing keynote provided by Jessamyn West, a consultant, researcher, and international public speaker on library science and digital divide issues.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Cataloging and Technical Services |
|
|
|
Amigos is now accepting presentation proposals for the February 8, 2023, online conference, "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Cataloging and Technical Services."
The call for proposals is open through November 29.
Libraries across the nation created and launched many Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives in recent years. These initiatives have been applied in all areas of the library, including cataloging and technical services. Register today to attend and see these efforts moving from proposal to practice and examine EDI in action today in cataloging and technical services.

Amigos Community Conversations
Libraries and Sustainability
|
|
|
|
Addressing energy, the environment, and sustainability has become a localized issue, with more communities and institutions taking direct action by re-envisioning their operations. Many libraries are joining these efforts, exploring options to make services and facilities more sustainable, responsible, and efficient. In this conversation, Jensen Adams, Energy and Sustainability Officer at Kansas City Public Library, and Dr. Lea Briggs, Department Administrator at the University of New Mexico Libraries, will discuss their libraries' sustainability initiatives and how other institutions can begin to take ownership of their carbon footprint.
This is an exclusive, no-charge event for Amigos Library Services members. Register today to join "Amigos Community Conversations: Libraries and Sustainability" on January 31, 2023.
|
|
A series developed for member libraries, Amigos Community Conversations provide a safe space to engage in discussions about the topics and trends evolving in libraries today with experienced facilitators and other Amigos member library staff. |
