There is no time like the present to celebrate libraries as institutions supporting inquiry and access to information while exploring opportunities for inclusivity in our research and practice.  

On June 14-16, 2017 join us at Stony Brook University for the SUNYLA 2017 annual conference where we will come together to share and learn about  the diverse ways we meet users’ needs in our collections, spaces and services.

Librarians and library staff members (SUNY and non-SUNY) are invited to submit proposals for pre-conference workshops and conference presentations in the following tracks:
  • Open Education Resources/Open Access
  • Management & Leadership
  • Systems & Technology
  • Public Services & ILL
  • Professional Development
  • Reference & Instruction
  • Collection Development
  • Archives &  Special Collections
  • Designing Spaces
  • Cataloging & Technical Services
  • Scholarly Communication
  • Diversity
  • Outreach & Marketing

If you aren’t sure which track your presentation fits into, submit your proposal anyway and we will determine which track best suits your proposal.
