LOEX is committed to raising the voices of those who are underrepresented in our profession and to creating the most inclusive community that we possibly can. LOEX seeks participants and presenters from all types of institutions, positions, backgrounds, and experiences.   

Breakout Sessions

Traditional-length (50 minutes) presentations and interactive workshops by one to three presenters. As in previous years, these sessions will make up the large majority of the conference program (an estimated 50-65 sessions). Breakout Session proposals are due November 28, 2022. [deadline has passed]

Lightning Talks

Short (seven minutes maximum) presentations given during a single session by different presenters. There will only be a handful (maximum of five) of these presentations as they are intended to be an energizing, but small, part of the conference. Lightning Talk proposals due date is Monday, January 23, 2023.  [deadline has passed]

Poster Sessions

Students currently enrolled in a graduate program in library and information sciences along with librarians in resident, intern or fellowship programs are invited to propose poster sessions. Poster Session proposals due date is in Monday, January 30, 2023. [deadline has passed]
