The Association of Jewish Libraries is now soliciting proposals for the 2027 Digital Conference, to be held online June 21–24, 2027.
Librarians, scholars, educators, archivists, authors, and library advocates are invited to submit proposals for papers and presentations on all aspects of librarianship and on topics related to Jews, Judaism, the Jewish experience or Israel. Presentations should be relevant to library professionals working in academic and research institutions, archives, synagogues, day schools, or Jewish community centers as well as public libraries serving Jewish communities. Past topics have included collection development and management, programming, reader advisory services, special and rare collections, archival science, cataloging and classification, Jewish literature and literacy, digital and electronic resources and emerging technologies. All presentations will be delivered over Zoom.
All sessions will be recorded and will be accessible only to conference registrants for up to a year. All presenters must agree to have their presentation recorded. Please note that if your proposal is accepted and you agree to present, you must register and pay for the conference. AJL membership is optional, but please note that conference support is available to AJL members; support information will be posted to AJL’s website shortly.
Co-presenters and panel presentations are welcome; however, each presenter must submit a separate proposal. All submissions must be received by January 31, 2027. Proposals will be reviewed by the programming committee, and all applicants will be notified in March 2027.
Submit your proposal here.
