Our events will take place on the following dates:

    • The DLF Forum (#DLFforum, October 10-12), our signature event, includes digital library practitioners and others from member institutions and the broader community, for whom it serves as a meeting place, marketplace, and congress. This year, the Forum’s guiding focus is gratitude. Learn more and check out the CFP here
    • Learn@DLF (#LearnAtDLF, October 9) is our pre-conference workshop day for digging into tools, techniques, workflows, and concepts. Through engaging, hands-on sessions, attendees will gain experience with new tools and resources, exchange ideas, and develop and share expertise with fellow community members. The CFP for Learn@DLF is incorporated with the Forum’s and can be found here.
    • NDSA’s Digital Preservation 2022: Preserving Legacy (#DigiPres22, October 12-13), NDSA’s major meeting and conference, will help to chart future directions for both the NDSA and digital stewardship, and is expected to be a crucial venue for intellectual exchange, community-building, development of best practices, and national-level agenda-setting in the field. Learn more and check out the CFP for this year’s event here.
  • CLIR’s Digitizing Hidden Collections Symposium (#digHC, October 12-13), is a two-day event for CLIR’s Digitizing Hidden Collections grant recipients and the wider library and archives communities to celebrate and reflect on five years of project work. Recipients’ collective experiences will create opportunities to discuss the current state and future potential of digitization practice in collecting institutions. Learn more and check out the CFP here.

For all events, we encourage proposals from members and non-members; regulars and newcomers; digital library practitioners and those in adjacent fields such as institutional research and educational technology; and students, early-career professionals and senior staff alike.

DLF Forum and Fall Events Move Online

2020 Forum & Affiliated Events

Based on the overwhelming responses to our community survey, the number and distribution of proposals for all CFPs, and CLIR’s ongoing monitoring of the pandemic situation, it has become clear to us that for the health and safety of our attendees and presenters, we must transition all of our fall events to a virtual format. We are sorry we won’t be able to explore Baltimore in 2020, but we’re already making arrangements to hold our 2022 events there, so we’ll just have to wait a bit longer to enjoy time together in Charm City.

What does this mean for 2020? We are not entirely sure yet, but we would love your input. We are happy to share this second community survey about virtual events in which we ask for your thoughts on what you’d like to see from a virtual CLIR/DLF event or series of events this fall. We would appreciate your input by Monday, June 1.

We understand that you may have questions, and while we may not have the answers just yet, we welcome the dialogue with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at forum@diglib.org, and thank you so much for your understanding and patience during this unprecedented time. Stay healthy and safe, and we’ll be in touch with more soon.

CFPs are here! 2020 DLF Forum and Affiliated Events
