About

Welcome library professionals!


Thank you for your interest in the CTLC 2023 Conference, held this year virtually on July 27-28, 2023. This is an opportunity to come together to celebrate exciting developments within our field and learn from our peers as we reflect on our successes and challenges as they relate to this year’s theme -- Inflation and Innovation: Doing More with Less.


Libraries are all dealing with rising prices, yet we are still expected to maintain high standards of service. What do we do when funding or resource changes occur without our consent? How do we pivot to make wise choices for our particular audience? We also encourage you to submit proposals that would be of interest to recent graduates, new librarians, or the role of professional organizations (TLA, ALA, ACRL) and how they can benefit librarians.
