You are invited to the 2023 UO Libraries Library Forum.

We are pleased to extend an invitation to you for the upcoming UO Libraries Library Forum hosted by the Library Faculty and Officers of Administration (LFOA). The first three Thursday afternoons in May promise to provide valuable insights into the important work of esteemed librarians, curators, and archivists.

This forum will feature presentations on Zoom led by seven experts in their respective library and archives fields, covering a wide range of topics such as curating special collections, showcasing the Slavic DH internships, highlighting Wikidata and the Oregon Poetry Collection, framing Oregon's history through music and popular culture, serving in a professional library association leadership position, exploring the aftermath of the 1923 Kanto/Tokyo Earthquake through the Nōsatsu Collection, and aerial photography library services. We are honored to host these distinguished scholars and encourage you to attend and engage with their invaluable expertise.

We hope to see you there!
