The proposals are in for our week of three great events in Milwaukee this November: the DLF Forum, the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Pre-Conference, and Digital Preservation 2016. Now it’s time to shape the program! From June 8- June 20, proposals will be open for public voting through our brand-new DLF community voting app: voting.diglib.org.

During this period, community members will be able to review titles and abstracts, and cast votes based on their interest in seeing certain presentations as part of each of the three events. After voting closes, the program planning committees for each event will use the community’s input, in combination with results from a concurrent peer review process, to inform its decisions about the conference programs.

People who submitted complete proposals will be notified of status by early August. Presenters will be guaranteed a registration place at the Forum.

Voting Process

Anyone is welcome to vote. You will need to a create an account on voting.diglib.org. You can cast votes for as many presentations as you’d like, but only one vote per presentation. For each presentation, the proposal type is listed to the right of the “Cast Vote” button.

The title and abstract will be available for each proposal. You can toggle between the three events using the top menu in blue.

Voting closes at 11:59 pm ET on Monday, June 20.

The planning committees for each of the three events will consider community voting results (taking into account the number of community votes it has received) among other factors when making final decisions on the 2016 DLF Forum program.

Thank you for helping to inform our selection process!

We heard your wishes for more time to get a proposal in for one of these three great events coming to Milwaukee in November, so the planning committees for the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Pre-Conference and Digital Preservation 2016 invite submissions in all categories until Monday, May 23, at 11:59PM PST. You can also still submit a proposal of any type for the DLF Forum until the same extended deadline, and proposals for Lightning Talks are particularly encouraged.

#DigiPres16 is the revival of the NDSA’s major conference on digital preservation and digital stewardship, at which we’ll present the 2016 NDSA Innovation Awards and more! #dlfLAC is a chance for DLF’s vibrant liberal arts colleges community to come together to focus on digital library and digital scholarship work in a liberal arts context. The #DLFforum brings digital library, archives, and museum practitioners together to set ambitious agendas, share new methods and experiments, develop best practices, and better organize our community to accomplish its shared mission.

The DLF Forum keynoter is Stacie Williams, and her talk will focus on labor issues in our field. Bergis Jules will keynote Digital Preservation 2016, with a talk focusing on the power and promise of diversity and inclusivity in digital preservation work. The Liberal Arts Colleges Pre-Conference keynoter will be announced soon.

We hope you are planning to join us in Milwaukee!
