In addition to thought-provoking keynote speakers, the two-day conference will include a mix of traditional lecture-style presentations, panel discussions, as well as interactive and hands-on workshops. Sessions will be offered on a wide range of topics and at varying skill levels. Anyone interested in the changing technologies that are affecting libraries should plan to attend.</span><br></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(42,42,42);font-size:14.04px;line-height:17.8691px"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.53164">A wrap-up of the 2015 LibTech Conference can be found at:</span><br></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin:0pt 0px;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(42,42,42);font-size:14.04px;line-height:1.53164"><a href="http://digitalcommons.macalester.edu/libtech_conf/2015/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(162,50,158);text-decoration:none"><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">http://digitalcommons.macalester.edu/libtech_conf/2015/</span></a></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(42,42,42);font-size:14.04px;line-height:17.8691px"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.53164"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(42,42,42);font-size:14.04px;line-height:17.8691px"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.53164">Interested in submitting a session proposal?
