The Amigos Online Conference, "Collections Reflect Communities" (April 10, 2025), will explore ways libraries represent their communities through collections and technical services practices. Amigos welcomes proposals for 45-minute individual or panel sessions. Submit your proposal by February 19, 2025. Sessions are presented online with technical support and moderation assistance from Amigos staff.
For the library to be a living organism it must constantly evolve – adding new materials and resources, pivoting to meet new needs, and changing with its community. In the areas of collections and technical services, that move to be a living organism requires responsible flexibility as we consider new formats and organize and make collections discoverable. Collections, classification and cataloging, weeding, and storage practices all represent the heart of each individual library to their communities.
