Presentations may discuss, but are not limited to, the following topics and themes: - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives - Digital Projects - New research tools - Research instruction advances - Collections - Libraries and COVID-19 - Professional development/new professionals The mini-conference will close on October 27th with a session on professional development and/or skills for new professionals.
