We want to provide participants tools and strategies that will inspire and hopefully lead to transformative change.<\/span><\/p>\n Proposals that cover a wide range of related themes are encouraged:<\/span><\/p>\n We invite proposals that discuss power, resistance, and leadership as it relates to the full range of work within our field, including collection development, the book trade, donor relations, cataloging and processing, digitization and metadata, security and preservation, teaching and learning, public services, reference, outreach, and exhibitions.<\/span><\/p>\n The RBMS 2020 Conference Program Planning Committee welcomes the opportunity to help interested parties shape proposals that connect the program\u2019s theme to our core professional activities.
