The Illinois Library Association Conference will be held in-person for the first time in more than two years! ILA 2022 will be held October 18-20 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. This year’s theme, “At the Heart of It,” focuses on what brings us together and how we can remove barriers to collaboration, as well as renewing connections to find purpose within ourselves, our organizations, and our communities.
Featured Academic Library Speakers
The conference will kick off with a keynote by Amy Tureen, the Head of the Library Liaison Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She will speak to her collaborative work with multiple stakeholders to establish, expand, and support initiatives that support student learning, research production, and the adoption of open educational resources and low-cost textbooks. Also of interest to IACRL members is the IACRL Luncheon, held on October 19 and featuring Dr. Anthony Dunbar, Assistant Professor in the Dominican University School of Information Studies (SOIS). He is an equity, inclusion, and justice (EIJ) thought leader and serves as the SOIS EIJ Coordinator. Also speaking on October 19 is Elaina Norlin, Professional Development DEI Coordinator for the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries.
