2025 STEM Librarians Collaborative Meeting

Science librarianship is changing. We need opportunities for professional development and networking that change with us. Help us create these for each other!

We want to address the many aspects of STEM librarianship and focus on STEM subjects from a librarianship perspective.

Our 2025 conference focus will allow us to connect with a dedicated community of peers, combining professional development opportunities with collegiality and the energy of an unconference.

There will be a nominal fee to provide more flexibility with how we use Zoom and to cover some operating costs. Most expenses are covered by sponsors.
