Registration is now open for the Re-think it: Libraries for New Age Conference which will take place from August 10-12, 2015. Due to space constraints registration will be limited to 250 participants. If you are interested in attending, you are encouraged to register early.

The Re-think it: Libraries for a New Age Conference will provide an opportunity for academic and public librarians, administrators, technologists, architects, designers, furniture manufacturers and educators from across the country to discuss, share, learn and collectively re-think the increasingly important role libraries play in the communities that they serve.



The conference will explore the following areas:



●      Transforming physical library spaces and places

●      Innovative services, programs, or technologies

●      Assessing and evaluating spaces, services, technologies and programs

●      Reflecting community values and needs

●      Developing a forward-thinking organizational culture



The conference will feature panel presentations, contributed paper presentations, tours, lightning rounds, interactive discussion sessions and an opportunity to engage with leaders and experts in design and innovation in public and academic libraries. Detailed program information will be available on the conference website at http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/rethinkit/ later in May.



The conference will be held at the new Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons (www.gvsu.edu/library/maryidemepew<http://www.gvsu.edu/library/maryidemepew>) on the campus of Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The conference is co-sponsored by GVSU and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS)
