CFP: SALALM LXVIII Connection Development: Collaborations and Communities Across the Americas, Iberia, the Caribbean, and their Diasporas, June 5-9, 2023, Washington, DC, USA

This conference is an opportunity to highlight collaborations that are intra- or inter-institutional, national or international. We will highlight collaborations that help get libraries and their communities through past and present moments of crisis. We will look at the different ways people across the Americas, Iberia, the Caribbean and their diasporas create communities to work together to affect change. These communities might be communities of academic and librarians, they might be communities of public health workers and educators. These communities might exist online or face-to-face and they might also be communities that were created online to help ease personal remote isolation whether short-term for a pandemic or long-term for physical, emotional, or socio-political reasons.
