CRKN is excited to announce the dates for the 2021 CRKN Conference, which will be taking place virtually from October 13 to 21, 2021.
Focusing on the theme “Shifting the Future,” we hope to bring together members and stakeholders from across the library and GLAM sectors for discussions on the future of open access, decolonization and indigenization of library and GLAM practices, current or post-pandemic shifts in our work, and much more.
Be sure to mark your calendars with the following dates for our popular Intro to CRKN pre-conference presentation, thematic programming from our community, and CRKN business sessions, including the annual Meeting of the Members. While dates are confirmed, the exact timing of sessions will be confirmed along with the final schedule in August.
