Deans and Directors Symposium (Hosted by LMU)

Tuesday, March 4

The SCELC Deans and Directors Symposium is a premier event designed for SCELC library leaders to explore innovative strategies, share best practices, and foster collaboration within the SCELC community. The symposium provides a unique space for library deans and directors to exchange ideas alongside key personnel from the vendor and publisher community. The event is invitation-only and limited to 80 participants.

Vendor Day

Wednesday, March 5

Every year, SCELC Vendor Day draws over 200 librarians representing more than 90 libraries from California and beyond. It is always free for all librarians to attend, including our peers at academic, community college, and public libraries outside of SCELC. Vendors also lead their own sessions in concurrence with exhibits, which are valuable learning opportunities for librarians.

Vendor participation is by invite only. If you would like to be considered as an exhibitor, please email us at events@scelc.org.

Colloquium

Thursday, March 6

SCELC Colloquium was inaugurated in 2006 to provide a dedicated forum to discuss current issues in the field of electronic resource licensing, digital librarianship, the role of social networks in libraries, and more. Reserved for librarians and staff of SCELC Member and Affiliate institutions, Colloquium presents lightning talks and panels of speakers recognized for their expertise on a particular topic. All SCELC librarians are encouraged to attend Colloquium, which is free of charge and includes breakfast and lunch.
