Theme: So You Know Who We Are: HBCU Libraries In Full View
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 1-2, 2021
Virtual Format
The 9th Membership Meeting was hosted in a virtual format in response to Covid-19 and to allow more participation by HBCU Library Alliance members and partners. Sessions were planned to celebrate the accomplishments, challenges and impact of the HBCU Library Alliance. Project updates on the Summer Conservation/Preservation Internship program, the NEH Building Capacity project and the CLIR Creating Access project were delivered. Training sessions were developed based on member request and input. Members were invited to present sessions that build upon the “So You Know Who We Are: HBCU Libraries In Full View” theme. An exhibit hall gave members a chance to experience a full range of products and services and connect with vendors.
