More than just a presentation on emerging projects in digital access for libraries, this event will highlight practical paths on how your library or institution can get involved.

All speakers have recently presented these topics to national audiences, however, this event will include new content and will be tailored specifically for Massachusetts libraries, library networks, archives, and other related institutions. Please join us for this special session! Limited to the first 100 registrants [Update: capacity is now 300 registrants.] A webinar link for the event, which will be recorded, will be shared one day before the event.

In collaboration with Digital Commonwealth, the Massachusetts State Historical Records Advisory Board (MA SHRAB), and Boston Public Library Digital Services.
