Enter our contest for the chance to win a registration and travel stipend for the 2026 Charleston Conference
Sage’s 2026 Charleston Library Contest is now open for entries. To enter, we are asking academic librarians and library workers to submit a response to this question:

In a time of rapid change across higher education, scholarly communication, and library services, what is one challenge or opportunity that academic libraries should address with greater creativity, collaboration, or urgency?
Drawing on your own experience, describe a specific issue you see emerging, explain why it matters, and share one practical idea, strategy, or question that you believe the profession should explore further.
Email submissions to Sage.Contest at sagepub.com<mailto:Sage.Contest at sagepub.com> with the subject line “2026 Charleston Library Contest” and include: 

  *   Your name 

  *   Your email address  

  *   Name of your library (if applicable) and work higher education institution

  *   A 300-word response to the above question
Entries must be submitted by September 14, 2026, at 11:59 PM PST. 
The grand-prize winner will receive complimentary conference registration and a $500 travel stipend. Five additional winners will each receive $50 Amazon gift cards. The winning entry will be featured in the Charleston Conference’s photo desk calendar (for calendar year 2025), which will be given to all conference attendees. 
Librarians and library workers play a pivotal role in ensuring student success and in the scholarly process of researching faculty. We believe investing in their future means investing in all higher ed and as an independent company, we are free to look for new and creative ways to support them. Please feel free to reach out with additional ideas<mailto:press at sagepub.com>.
