  Greetings,

  The NCLA Resources and Technical Services Section (RTSS) is soliciting speaker proposals for our 2026 Fall miniconference, to be held via Zoom the morning of Friday, October 16, 2026. The theme of the miniconference is Adapt, Automate, Access: Modernizing Technical Services. We hope to feature presentations on a variety of topics as they relate to library technical services, including but not limited to artificial intelligence, evolving workflows and workflow assessments, changing purchasing behaviors, staff professional development and cross-training, and e-resource access methods.  

  Presentations will fall into one of two categories: featured presentations (20-30 minutes) or lightning talks (5-7 minutes). We welcome proposals from all types of libraries. NCLA membership is not required.

  Please enter your proposal on this proposal form by September 1, 2026.

  We look forward to your response!

  Sincerely,

  The RTSS Board
