The 2024 Library Instruction Together Conference will take place: - In-Person @ the Retreat on Friday, May 10, Nashville Public Library, Tennessee - Virtually on Zoom, Wednesday, May 22 The theme for LIT this year is BRIDGING THE GAPS: *One goal of Library Instruction Together is to bring together librarians from across various corners of the profession—from academic and special libraries to those serving K-12 schools and the public. But it’s not always easy to make these connections outside of our own professional specialties, which led us to wonder… How do you “bridge the gaps” in your own work? On that note, we are looking for conference proposals that discuss topics such as (but not limited to):* - *Reaching out to multiple generations of patrons* - *Forming partnerships with new stakeholders* - *Collaborating with colleagues from other institutions and across various types of libraries* *In addition to this theme, **LIT** 2024 also welcomes submissions that are relevant to library instruction more broadly.* Submit proposals through the LIT <https://forms.gle/6xqDq9GyzvLfeKjm6> 2024 Conference Proposal Form <https://forms.gle/6xqDq9GyzvLfeKjm6>.
