The Nova Scotia Library Association (NSLA) has teamed up with our friends from museums & archives to bring you this special joint conference: "Moving Forward Together: Collaboration & Innovations to Meet Changing Needs"

 

Our conference theme highlights the resilience of our sectors in dealing with the realities caused by COVID-19 and the use of collaboration and innovation to meet the challenges we face.

 

LAMNS last joint conference, held in Halifax in 2015, was an historic event that brought the 3 partners together for the first time. "Moving Forward Together” will be another historic moment – LAMNS' first virtual Conference!

 

For 3 days, employees and volunteers from libraries, archives, and museums across Nova Scotia will come together to learn from each other and share their experiences of serving the public during a pandemic.

 

The Conference panels, presentations, and keynote events will highlight the resilience of our sectors and the use of collaboration and innovation to meet the challenges we face. This has been a year of expedited growth and change, a year of strength and resiliency, and community collaboration from a distance. Let’s come together and celebrate our sectors – together!

 

Session topics include:

• Shifting to the virtual (digitization, programming, community outreach etc.)
• Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Truth and Reconciliation, issues of Indigenization
• Community focused practices, community partnerships
• Serving underserved communities
• Accessibility
• Changing demographics in Nova Scotia
• Policy shifts
• How has COVID-19 changed the work we do? 

 

More information to come on speakers, panels, round tables, and keynotes.

 

The LAMNS 2021 Conference is organized by the Nova Scotia Library Association, Association of Nova Scotia Museums, the Council of Nova Scotia Archives, Nova Scotia Archives, Nova Scotia Provincial Library, and the Nova Scotia Museum.
